Yet another way to look at this:
NCAA Rule 9-3:
Section 4. Throw-in
Art. 1. The thrower-in shall not:
b. Fail to pass the ball directly into the playing court so that after it crosses the boundary line, it touches or is touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the playing court before going out of bounds.
Hence the first situation describes a throw-in violation and the second doesn't. Where do we put the ball in play?
NCAA Rule 7-5:
Art. 2. When the violation is on a throw-in, the new throw-in shall be from the same designated spot as that of the original throw-in.
The second situation is a standard out of bounds violation, where A2 caused the ball to become out of bounds. It's not a throw-in violation because of Rule 9-3.4.1.b (see above). Hence the designated spot is determined by the position of A2.
