Help me out here, was there a violation and if so what was it? To me it looked like team A simply wanted to change the throw in person.

This is one of those had-to-be-there things. If this is 7th grade girls, and the coach is yelling, "No, let Ashley take it out! Kiesha, you need to get to the high post! Ashley! You go get the ball, and take it out!!" etc and the girls have no clue, and you probably shouldn't have handed it off so soon, you blow your whistle, take the ball back and start over. If it's varsity boys state championship game, you call the violation. The line between call and do-over is in the middle somewhere, and you're the only one who can decide where.
Also remember that after a made basket, this is legal, as long as neither player "carries the ball inbounds."
