I'm not saying that I would call the DOG warning.
But, if we take the (very slow developing play) where A1 crosses the line, then B1 releases the ball, then A1 makes contact with the ball -- it's clearly a DOG warning.
So, while I'd give A1 some slack for being OOB when the throw-in starts, I think A1 might lose that slack if s/he then gains an advantage from it -- namely contacting the ball. It's kind of a "delayed violation / warning."
I think it's really a 2-3 situation -- but I could see the NFHS coming out with an interp that makes it a DOG.
