Whatcha Got?

Depends on the rules set. In NFHS, this is legal (B can reach across one the ball is released on the throw-in pass). It's not legal in NCAAW (nor, I think, in NCAAM).

Agree with JRut on the rest

7-6-4: The opponent(s) of the thrower must not have any part of his/her person through the inbounds side of the throw-in boundary plane until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass.

Remember, it must be an actual throwin pass, not a pass between two offensive players out of bounds on a run the endline throwin, that would be a technical foul (also a delay warning if there hadn't already been a warning for such).
