To me, control in this case would be determined based on whether he intentionally directed the ball to his teammater, or the "throw/tap" was just a desperation attempt to keep the ball in play.
I think of it this way: A1 is trying to save a loose ball that's going out of bounds. He jumps, and while in the air over the out of bounds line, 1) with his back to the court, heaves the ball back into the court, and it happens to go into the backcourt, where A2 secures possession, or 2) turns in the air, catches the ball, and tosses it to his teammate in the backcourt. It seems to me 1) would be okay, and 2) would be a violation.
