Rule 3-6-3 does require an illegal act and throwing the ball backwards out of bounds is legal. Consider the situation, A is trying to conserve time most likely because they trail in the score. They have a spike available to conserve time. They probably will not do it more than once and even if they do it will hurt their offense. So why bother to try to penalize them when they are doing it to themselves.
