When A2 or B2 touches the ball, it is an OOB violation because A2/B2 caused the ball to be OOB.
If the ball goes OOB before/without being touched by a player, it is a throwin violation.
Of course, in spite of what the rule says, Art Hyland has pulled one out of thin are to say that it goes back to the original spot when a player touches the throwin while OOB. There really is no reason nor rules justification for that.

Right, I think the key to this play is to consider who is guilty of the violation. The ball is always put in play at the spot of the violation (with exceptions), so if the violation is on A2, that's the spot. If it's on A1, that's the spot.
