In this case the two players are basically moving in tandem, parallel to each other. A1 is moving to get back on the court as B1 gathers the ball and passes in. On the release they are both OOB, A1 (the defender) touches the throw-in pass after release, but before he establishes himself inbounds. As an addendum, the play was more of an athletic extension forward dive, like a player would make saving a ball from OOB or back court, but it originates from OOB.
