A1 is at the spot for a baseline throw-in.
(a)He throws the ball but B1 touches the ball after the release, but before it crosses the baseline plane. The ball hits the floor OOB. The official awards the ball back to A at the spot where the ball touched OOB.
(b)Before he throws the ball, B1 touches the ball while still in the possession. The official assesses a technical foul to B1.
Is the official correct?

Actually on (b), I see the answer as "not necessarily", you did not specify whether the ball was on the out of bounds side of the plane or if A1 had stuck it across the plane, in which case B1's touching would be legal.
