I stand corrected!! First of all, when the ball goes directly out of bounds without touching a player - a throw-in violation has occurred. Technically the throw-in has not ended as it was never "touched by a player in bounds" as the definition for when a throw-in ends reads in the rule book.
Unfortunately, as happens many times, I misinterpreted a rule simply because I was not aware of all the throw-in procedures.
So, GIVE THE BALL TO B AND CHANGE THE ARROW!
Your statement, "Technically the throw-in has not ended as it was never 'touched by a player in bounds' is not altogether true.
A throw-in ends when there is a violation by the throwing team REGARDLESS of whether the ball has been inbounded yet and/or touched another player. (See Rule 6-3-4)
As soon as the throw-in team violates, the arrow is switched to B and they are now entitled to a throw-in at the same spot. As soon they inbound the ball, the arrow switches back to A for the next AP situation.
So much for a violation, however is EITHER team FOULS during an AP throw-in, (as is stated in a message above) it does not cause the throw-in team to lost possession of the arrow. (Rule 6-3-5)
