There probably has to be more to the throw-in off the player and the immediate kicking of the ball in this situation that would help guide me to a decision. Did the crew have ANY issues with A1 previously during the game? Was that issue between he and the player he threw the ball off of? How did he throw the ball? i.e. baseball style as hard as he could - at B1's head - at B1's crotch - was A1 showing obvious signs of being pissed when he did it (body language type of thing). Was the "kick" a follow up to his throw-in? Was it directed at the same player he threw the ball at?
So many things to consider within the span of a few moments - but things that are critical to making proper judgement and call/non-call.
