The official said no, because it was a player control foul. Hypothetically reversing the foul - If A2's screen is not legal and he commits the foul, Does B1 shoot a one-and-one if it is A's 8th team foul?

A has the ball on the baseline for a throw-in. As the thrower starts the throw-in, he realizes the defense will intercept the pass, so he holds onto the ball. Him momentum carries him forward and he steps on (not over) the line. Is this a violation? The official said yes.
1) You can't call a player control foul on the defense. A2 should shoot 1/1. If A2 commits the foul, it's a team control foul by team A and it's treated basically the same as a player control foul. No free throws and a team B spot throw-in.

2) All side and end lines are out of bounds. It is not a violation to step on a line. It is a violation to step over a line.
