I think that there are tow keys to this play.
1) A1 did not carry the ball onto the court, i.e., step on to the court with the ball.
2) A1 had not yet released the ball on a pass.
Therefore, I think (and I may be wrong), that under all three (NFHS, NCAA, and FIBA) codes, A1 has not committed a throw-in violation. Hopefully Duane will add his expertise per FIBA rules to this play.

I have to disagree with you, Mark. The ball touched the floor inbounds. I don't know, and don't care, about the interpretation but it's a violation in NF play. This is no different than handing the ball to a teammate inbounds. Wouldn't it be a violation for a FT shooter to do this? I don't see any difference.
