What A.R. is that? The only one I've seen that is close to that is A1 placing the ball on the floor because he loses his balance, steps onto the court, then returns OOB and picks up the ball.

Although I may be splitting an extremely fine hair, the answer to the second scenario may not be so clear.

Under 7-5-7, a thrower-in "may pass the ball along the end line to a teammate(s) outside the boundary." Does "outside the boundary" modify "teammate" or "pass the ball along the end line"?

If the former, at the moment A1 set the ball down (assuming this is a "pass"), A2, who was in-bounds, was not "a teammate outside the boundary." If not, then 7-5-7 does not save Team A from a violation.

If the latter, then 7-5-7 would apply.

Unless there is a 15 year-old case, no longer in the book, that says....
