Logic says B2 would want to get faked into the stands and you also wouldn't want to stop Team A from potentially getting an easy layup.

I am not thinking of this play as a leaving the court for an unauthorized reason situation but a Delay of Game. They broke the throw in boundary albeit 15 feet away from the thrower in-er.
The rule I am wondering about is 9-2-10:
The opponent(s) of the thrower shall not have any part of his/her person through the inbounds side of the throw-in boundary-line plane until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass.
