so if after a made basket by B, A1 is OOB and he/she throws a "bounce pass" to A2 who is inbounds, but the bounce pass contacts the court OOB before A2 catches it inbounds....is this legit?
(If this were a *designated spot* throw, this would be illegal I believe.)

In both cases, what you describe is a throw-in violation. If the ball is being inbounded, whether from a designated spot or after a made basket, it must be thrown directly into the court -- that is, it may NOT touch anything OOB before being touched inbounds.
The only time it's legal for the ball to touch OOB during a throw-in is when it's NOT being inbounded -- either dribbled by the inbounder or passed along the endline after a made or awarded basket.
