If A1 inbounds and the ball deflects off B1 OOB, the throw-in ended when it touched B1 by rule, so the deflection OOB comes after the throw-in ends. This means there would be a spot throw-in. However, the act of kicking the ball is it's own violation, and the NF position is that the kicking violation occurs simultaneously with the throw-in ending and therefore is considered a violation that occurs during the throw-in. Sort of like the tie going to the runner. Therefore, the inbounding team would retain the right to run on a kicked ball.

Mark, your explanation makes sense but it is not at all
consistent with how the fed handles illegaly catching
the jump ball by the jumper. If it was, the team getting
the ball for throw-in would not get the arrow. But, that's
an entirely different subject.
