Here's my scenario:
A1 has a throw-in with under 2 seconds on the clock after B just scored to tie the game. After Team A calls a time-out, team B puts a defender on the thrower-in to make the pass difficult. A1 has a lot of room, and backs up as far as possible. After A1 releases the ball, but clearly before it breaks the plane, B deflects the pass, gathers it up and scores.
LEGAL?

As others have told you, this play is legal under NFHS rules. However, this would be an indirect technical foul in an NCAA game. In that rules set the defender is not allowed to break the boundary plane until the ball does.
You were probably thinking in NCAA terms when you put false.
