Thanks BktBallRef, On the court i don't think i've been faced with having to make a decision for a T. Once the player releases the ball and a defender hits it it usually goes right back OOB or in play. Hard to tell if the player touched the ball on the OOB side. The only time i've called a T is when it is still in the hands of the thrower.
Don't confuse what I said. If the pass is a throw-in, B1 can reach through the plane and touch the ball after the release on the OOB side. This is a legal play. Then make your call if the ball goes OOB. Inbounds and it's a free ball.

However, in the original play, the pass from A1 to A2 occurred when both players were OOB after a made basket. The pass from A1 to A2 in this sitch is not a throw-in pass. It's no different than touching or dislodging the ball while A1 is holding it.
