Yes, it's legal to bat, touch or grab the ball if the thrower extends it through the boundary plane.
So how does this work? A4 is inbounding the ball, and holds the ball over the plane of the line. Standing inbounds, B5 grabs the ball. Wouldn't this mean that A4 is now standing out of bounds and touching the ball, therefore it is now Team B's inbounds? Is this right? [/B]
No. A4 is legally OOB. As long as he is holding the ball, he can't be called for causing it to go OOB. If the defender grabs it, it's a held ball. If he knocks it lkoose, it's a matter of where it lands.
