This is clearly a set play designed to deliver the ball to A2. Violation for intentionally leaving the playing surface?

If you call this a violation for intentionally leaving the playing surface, you have to call every attempt to save the ball from going out of bounds a violation. OK, not every one, but the ones where the player leaps out of bounds and tosses the ball back onto the court.
Situation B is a violation.
