You can make an argument to support any of the 3 warning, T, violation on team A...my stance is team A did not follow the throw-in provisions and that occurred before B1 picked up the ball.
In terms of common sense officiating blowing the cluster **** dead and getting a thrower OOB with the ball is probably the wisest choice.

BZ, unfortunately you are very incorrect about this. Team A has not committed a throw-in violation of any kind on this play.
A1 did not even attempt to make a throw-in pass. He doesn't have to. You cannot penalize him for having the ball touch the OOB area prior to the making of the throw-in pass. We certainly know that A1 can bounce the ball OOB prior to making the throw-in pass per 9.2.2 Sit D.
Furthermore, although 7-5-7 doesn't specifically state such, even you wrote that A1 could
HAND the ball to A2. Notice that's also not throwing, batting, or rolling the ball to another player, which is how the definition of a pass reads.
Quite simply it would be silly to deem handing the ball to a teammate not a pass and thus a violation. There is no throw-in violation in this scenario by Team A. The only violation has been by Team B. The only question is whether a technical foul is also warranted.
