The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1 attempts a free throw. A-5, who is standing next to B-5, swim strokes B-5 to gain better rebounding position as the ball bounces off the ring.
Handle the situation.
A personal foul for holding B-5 should be ruled. If Team B is in the bonus, B-5 will receive bonus free throw attempt(s). If not in the bonus, Team B will be awarded the ball at the spot out of bounds nearest the foul.

Very Good Play. The Foul must be called, as A-5 is trying to gain advantage by holding B- 5 back.
Thanks!
