(Sorry having a discussion at work and I left my rule book at home. I know it is only a violation if it goes over the top of backboard during a shot or rebound but wasn't sure about putting ball in play.)

Bottom of backboard is treated the same of the front face of the backboard and this is considered in bounds. Thus there is no violation for A1 not throwing the ball directly inbounds. As long as A1 is not the first to touch the ball there is no violation look at 9.2.2 in the Fed case (and rule 9-2) book(s).
