I always assumed the throw-in should be where the ball went out, but from the rules it seems that the violation may be being the last to touch it before it goes out, in which case the "spot nearest the violation" would be near where it was last touched--regardless of where it went out.
Thanks!

John, had A1 commited a BC violation with his touching, then the throw-in is from the spot nearest where the touching occurred, not at the division line. Perhaps this scenario is what is confusing you with regard to the play you presented.
