This is an important point. The original statement of the situation said "He inbounds to A2 who is standing with one foot on the sideline." If by this you mean that at time of release, A2 was already standing with one foot on the sideline (as opposed to being there when he catches the ball), then the violation should be called for both being OOB. That would eliminate any possibility of a clock start (if you are of the philosophy that the clock should ahve been allowed to start) and also change the spot of the throw-in to the baseline, which would have an impact on the next play, especially if A was on their own defensive baseline inbounding against a press and B needs a quick score to tie or win.
