I always ask players to roll the ball back under the net to help prevent someone that may not be looking getting bonked in the head by a ball thrown back to a team.
Some officials that I have seen are more stringent on that than I am, I will gently remind players if they are throwing the ball back over, some of my collegues will issue a yellow card, then red card if the behavior continues. As you know, a red card carries a penalty of a loss of rally/point.
My guess is that team A was either a victim of one of these red card "penalty points", or it happened in a game they were involved in or watching.
