I would speculate that they are talking about Rule 9-3-10 Penalties, which defines what action during the throw-in is a technical foul. However based on the play you stated, the throw-in was released on a pass towards a player in bounds, therefore it should be a legal block attempt. Had the contact on the ball been made while A1 was throwing the ball to A2 who is also out of bounds, after a made basket per 7-5-7, then the contact on the ball would be a technical foul. see caseplay 10.3.10 Sit B
