I understand the conflict between the 2 interpretations and I don't have my rule book with me, but here is how I would handle this situation.
It seems to me that when the throw-in is touched by the defensive player (Team B)the throw-in then is completed. If the defender has caused the ball to go out of bounds then Team A (offense) retains possession of the ball and has a designated spot throw-in. Why should Team B be penalized for good defensive work, even though the ball went out of bounds?
