A1 releases the ball trying to lob over B1. B1 jumps extending his hands over the line and bats the ball back into A1 hands. B1 lands back inbound Call?

At one time, the rule was worded such that the defense couldn't, during a throwin, reach across the line to touch the ball. It made no reference to whether it was in the hands of the thrower or not. It was later changed to only restrict the defense until the thrower released the ball on a throwin pass (a pass along the endline to an OOB teammate after a made basket is still protected).
