Team A has the ball for backcourt endline throw-in. All of A and B is in the backcourt. As the ball is handed to A1, A2 streaks for front court. A1 throws an overhand pass to A2. The ball veers off course and is heading out of bounds. A2, standing out of bounds, catches the ball. Obviously a violation, but where is the throw-in at?

I say it is where A2 touched the ball because of 9-2-2.

The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court from out-of-bounds so it touches or is touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched.

I think this is the rule he would have had to violate to make it a throw-in violation. Since he didn't, it's not a throw-in violation, and just a OOB violation. Thoughts?
You are correct. A2 caused the ball to be OOB, therefore the throwin should be at that spot. Had a very similar play earlier this year.
