To further clarify, the violation in JRut's situation would be for going out of bounds - it's not a throw-in violation.

Actually, I believe it could be either kind of violation depending on where A2 catches the ball.
If the ball has not crossed the plane into the court when A2 catches the ball, it is a throw-in violation as soon as A2 touches the ball for not throwning the ball into the court.
If the ball has crossed the plane when A2 catches the ball, then we have a legal throw-in. If A2 then lands out of bounds and is still holding the ball, we have an out of bounds violation.

Sorry Lotto, you're wrong. Since it is legal to pass the ball to an out of bounds player, the thrower is not required to pass the ball directly onto the court. This is not a throw-in violation in any way. Just as Dexter put it. It only matters because it determines where the inbound for team B will be. This situation would never occur on an AP throw-in.

Well, let's be nice. Lotto is indeed incorrect on this specific play. He would be correct for a designated spot throw-in, though.
Here's the rule: 9-2-3 The thrower shall not: ...Pass the ball so it is touched by a teammate while the ball is on the out-of-bounds side of the throw-in boundary-line plane (except as in 7-5-7).
It that last exception which makes it only an OOB violation and not a throw-in violation on a thrown-in that the team has the ability to run the endline.
