NF rule 9-2-2. It is a violation by the thrower-in (hate that term, makes me want to "thrower-up") to "fail to pass the ball directly into the court so it touches or is touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched." The words "inbounds or out of bounds" are part of the rule, they were not inserted by me.
Since the inbounds pass was touched by a player out of bounds on the court, the violation was not by the inbounder (there - isn't that term better?).
Since the violation was by A2, the spot is nearest where A2 was when he caused the ball to be ruled OOB. NF rule 7-2-2 also supports this.
