No rule book in hand, but my thought from my understanding of the rules is as follows:
The violation occurs as soon as you have A2 OOB and A1 has ball at disposal preparing to inbound. If A2 goes OOB after ball at disposal but before inbounds play, the violation should be blown immediately when A2 goes OOB. If A2 is OOB prior to ball at disposal and remains there, then the violation would occur as soon as the ball is at disposal of A1.
However, it seems to me that perhaps the ball should not be placed at disposal of A1 with A2 OOB. I think the officials look bad in that circumstance. I can see where it could occur if the trail gives the ball to A1 and the lead sees A2 OOB. But it still seems that this type of violation could be prevented and should not occur.
