I believe the correct call is a throw-in violation on B1. B1 has violated 9-2-10: ...Be out of bounds when he/she touches or is touched by the ball after it has been released on a throw-in pass.
B1 has not violated 9-2-11 since no part of his body was "through the inbounds side of the throw-in boundary plane," his entire body was on one side of this plane. This is not the same as being on the inbounds side of the plane and reaching THROUGH (read as intersecting with)it. He is merely on the other side entirely!
Notice also the language used in 10-3-12: "...Reach through the throw-in boundary-line plane and touch or dislodge the ball..."
B1 did not do this either. Therefore, no T is warranted.
So it is Team A's ball on the endline for what would be a designated-spot throw-in, but last year this rule was changed. 7-5-7 now says, "A team retains this privilege if the scoring team commits a violation or a foul and the ensuing throw-in spot would be on the endline." Since B1 violated, Team A may run the endline on this throw-in.
