For the record, on the original situation I'm giving the ball back to A as I consider that to be the "right" call.
In your stated case, IMO, B1 caused the ball to go out of bounds (off his/her legs). Again you are assuming A1 "intentionally" threw the ball at the legs of B1 rather than attempting a pass that "happened" to hit B1 in the legs. I believe the rules reference hitting someone in the face intentionally, but the legs are fair game...
