So you're not calling it if A2 tries to grab the ball, but A1 is pulling back?

Correct.

But you keep counting, right?

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!

I'd be interested in hearing the opposing view.

Just ask Tony!

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?
