Team B has just scored to pull within 3 and they call an immediate time-out. .9 seconds are left on the clock. After the time-out, Team A has a throw-in along Team B's "baseline". A1 throws the ball the length of the court (probably a pretty good strategic move - with only .9 left on the clock), it bounces several times, and the first touch is by A2 who happens to be out of bounds at the other end (under team A's basket). What is the call - out of bounds? violation? And where does the subsequent throw-in take place?? With the score and time remaining - Team B's coach wants the ball out of bounds back at the spot of the original throw-in - better for them with only .9 remaining. And if you have an answer, could you let me know where it is in the rule book?!? I have been unable to even find the rule regarding an inbounds pass that doesn't get touched coming back to that spot for the subsequent throw-in. THANKS!
