Just to be clear, B1 may break the plane and touch the ball only AFTER it has left A1's hands ON A THROW-IN PASS. B1 may NOT break the plane and touch a ball which is passed between OOB teammates when use of the entire end line is allowed. That is a technical foul on B1.

10.3.11 SITUATION B: After a field goal, the score is A-55, B-54. A1 has the ball out of bounds for a throw-in with two seconds remaining in the game. A1 throws the ball toward A2 who also is out of bounds along the end line. B2 reaches across the end line and grabs or slaps the ball while it is in flight. Time expires close to the moment the official indicates the infraction. RULING: A technical foul is charged against B2. The remaining time or whether Team B had been previously warned for a delay-of-game situation is not a factor. No free throws are awarded as the winner of the game has been determined.

So it depends on the location of A2 whether or not B2 may touch the ball. Tricky.
