My first reaction is that the ball should come back to the original throw-in spot. It would seem to me that when A2 touched the ball AFTER stepping OOB it is no different than if he had not touched the ball until after IT had touched out of bounds.
That's the way it USED TO be, a long time ago (not that I'm that old). But not anymore. Them were the days when an inbounder (I use that term very carefully, lest I make someone sick) could throw the ball off a defender, have it hit him where he stands OOB, and still get the ball back for a new 5 seconds. I think it's easier now--player who last touches the ball determines whether it is inbounds or OOB.
