Was reading the current case book yesterday and came upon a scenario that confused me. A1 was throwing ball in from baseline (designated spot). A1 held the ball out over the line, so it was over the playing court. B1 took the ball out of A1's hand and scored. This was ruled a legal play. Yet, if A1 were to hand the ball to A2, it is a violation. Can anyone tell me why it is legal for the defender to take it from A1's hand, while an offensive player cannot. I would have thought that while they were both touching the ball, it would be out of bounds by A1.
