I conferred with my partner and we awarded the ball to the B team for a sidline throw-in.
Things we considered since we did not know the exact rule: intent, advantage gained, bench personnel.

Was A6 standing out of bounds? If so, and the ball touches him, the ball is out of bounds at that point. B caused the ball to go OOB, so give A the throw-in.
