The same ruling must then also be applicable if B's coach is sitting on the bench and he catches a live ball thrown OOB by A, eh? Using the same logic, the B coach caused the ball to go OOB in that situation too.

I wanna be there when you call that!

Here is a stitch for ya then.

A1 is taking the ball out of bounds guarded by B1. A1 throws ball in across the plane, B1 tips the ball back to A1 who catches it out of bounds. Who causes bsll to be out of bounds?

A1 causes the ball to be OOB...he's a player standing OOB.

Lemme elaborate a little on RookieDude's correct answer. See rules 7-2-1 & 2. Those will tell you why A1 caused the ball to go out of bounds in your sitch above. Please note that those rules only apply to an individual player. A coach standing OOB is covered in a different rule- i.e. R7-1-2(b) as "any other person". Different rules for different situations.
