But I also think the right way to handle it is to not penalize A for this fluke. Blow it dead, and do it again.
Of course, that assumes the ball went inbounds. If it bounced back to the thrower or otherwise stayed OOB, it would be the same as the thrower dribbling the ball during the throwin...no violation!
