Correct.

Absolutely. The ball has not yet been released on a throw-in pass.

And then if A2 lets go, no harm done? I see your point.

IMO, correct again. Point out any rule in the book which this play violates!

Actually, now that I think about it, the opponent probably doesn't have as much to say to me as my own assignor. Howard, how do you want this called? Is the mere touching a violation, or only the completed handoff?
