It would depend on a couple of things for me to make the call. First of all the position of B has alot to do with it. If they are at half court still running down I'll probably be more lenient as far as applying my next two considerations, which are: where was the ball at when B picked it up and where was it going. If the ball rolled over to the bleachers and was picked up and tossed to me, then no call. Also if A1 had accidently kicked it and it was out towards the 3pt line and still going, I would (and B as well) appreciate him tossing to me or at least toward team B or the endline. Now if the ball is simple bouncing or even barely rolling directly under the basket or next to the endline, A1 needs to leave the ball as is especially if B is anywhere close to the ball. Another important consideration is whether or not A is pressing. I'm not going to be the ref Nazi or anything, but if this is going on consistently with a press in place and is what is allowing A to set it up, that's what warnings are for.
