Should (by rule) B1 be charged a technical foul for contacting the ball across the line? Not a likely occurrence, but it could happen in a lower level game.

When B1 grabs the ball and A1 pulls it back, while both maintain a hold on the ball, it is a held ball. The held ball occurs before A1 gets the ball OOB. No Technical. Go with the arrow for the ensuing throw-in. If the current throw-in is already and AP throw-in, A1 retains the arrow for this new throw-in since no factor that causes the arrow to change has yet occurred. Only when the throw-in has ended by a violation or by a touch on the court after the release is the arrow switched.
