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?

The results are the same, it's a violation and the other team gets a spot throw-in.
A kick is not so heinous an act to warrant losing the next AP throw-in. It's good defense, period.

A kick most certainly is NOT good defense. If it were, we'd award the ball to the defending team.
