There is nothing wrong with the play in situation #1. Please don't go make something up for this. Just make sure that the ball hits OOB before contacting the thrower (A1), and then give Team A another throw-in.

For situation #2 follow the NFHS case book play.

THROW-IN STRIKES OPPONENT IN FACE
10.3.7 SITUATION B: A1 has the ball out of bounds for a designated spot throw-in. B1 is putting great pressure on and the count is at four seconds when A1 throws the ball and it strikes B1's face. The ball rebounds from B1's face directly out of bounds. RULING: The administering official will have to make a decision based upon a number of observations. Was the throw-in to B1's face purely accidental or was it a voluntary, planned act? Was the ball contact caused by the movement of the defender? Was the act of a an unsporting nature? The administering official must be aware that players often react negatively in situations where they are frustrated or are retaliating for something which happened earlier in the game.


The ruling will be made according to the judgment of the official. The possibilities are: 1) legal play 2) technical foul 3) flagrant technical foul.
*Note that a personal foul is not possible because there was no physical contact between the two players.
