B1 is not gaining an advantage, they played good defense or A1 made a poor throw-in pass, but in either case neither A1 nor B1 did anything to keep or lose the right to the arrow.
A kick is different because it is, in itself, illegal. a deflection isn't. See the difference?
Say what?

Deflecting the ball OOB isn't illegal? It isn't a violation?

Rule 9-3-1 seems to say something completely different.

That's a basic, Juulie. You're over-thinking this one. "What-ifs" and rationalizations won't work when you have clear rules language. The relevant rules being discussed aren't in any way ambiguous.
