The mere fact that A1 touched the ball does not earn a warning. A1 would have to prevent team B from promptly having the ball at their disposal for the subsequent inbound pass. If that, in the official's opinion, is what happened (inadvertant or not), then give the warning. I have had this happen where the player says "But I was just giving the ball to the ref". Players must learn the official does not handle the ball following a made basket.
