During the inbounds, which went to 4 seconds, A1 steps on part of the line after a pass fake from B. I judge it is inconsequential. B1 finally throws the ball in, A1 deflects it, A2 grabs it and sends it down to A3 who very nearly blows the layup, but A wins a close one!
Was A1 on the end line when he deflected the ball?

Had he jumped after being on the end line and deflected the ball?

BTW, I would have issued the warning. It sounds like A gained a definite advantage by being that close to the thrower.

Also, for w_sohl, if the thrower has a wide OOB area, there's no reason to tell the defender to back up. He's entitled to be as close to the line as he can get without breaking the plane.
