So you can whip a ball in midair at an opponents private parts and it is just an OOB, but if you hit him in the face it is a technical( if the rule is applied correctly)?

What's the difference.

It's not that black and white. If I think he aimed for the junk, he's at least getting a T.

B1 was standing OOB. I see nothing wrong with the play....UNLESS, A1 was throwing the ball with the intent to harm or injure B1 in an unsporting manner. And that is all subjective on the official's part.
