...A1 (@ the BC baseline) throwing the ball in to A2 (at the BC FT line) and all other players in the FC. A2 gently bumps the ball back towards A1 with the knuckles (as in the knuckle/fist bump handshake) where A1 takes 3-4 steps inbounds to get the ball.
There is no way this should ever be called. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the rule and why the rule exists. There is zero danger to anyone and it is simply irrelevant. To blow the whistle is merely being overly officious.

So if A2 gently kicks the ball back to A1 that would be fine with you as well?
Sorry Camron, but by failing to enforce the rules because you don't deem that it is necessary in a given situation, you run the risk of having the game degenerate into a farce. That is exactly what happened in the other thread started by Y2Koach about the official refusing to call a palming violation.
