It's the Referee's decision to forfeit the game (see, there's more to being the R than just tossing the ball). 2-5-4

I think I'd only call a forfeit for safety reaasons. It's unclear from the original post whether A1's throwing the ball was just frustration or something that had been building up and could explode into further action.

I'd also bring the coaches together and "warn" (although I try to never use that word, except when it's one of the three required warnings in the book) them that they needed to control their teams.

On the original question (A1 fouls out, no subs, who shoots?): Any of the remaining players (A2 or A3) can take A1's shots. 8-2
