Are you saying that B1 was out of bounds when touching the ball?

If that is not what you are saying and B1 was actually on the court, this would not be a violation. This is not football, all you have to do is come back in and you can touch any ball in bounds.

Violation for what specifically? It is not illegal for a non-jumper to gain possession anywhere on the court after a jump ball?

a. Is that correctable?
b. Do we shoot 1 & 1 even though the team just threw the ball away??
c. Would the lane be cleared & Team A in bounding on the same endline
where Team B turned it over?
My partner ruled that we will shoot 1 & 1 with players on the lane.

Yes this is correctable; this took place within the time frame. You shoot the 1 and 1 with the lane clear. Then you bring the ball back to spot where you noticed the error. So the ball is brought to the end line with Team A in possession.

It sounds like you let your partner run things. If these were real games you could get in trouble with them, you got to know these rules. Know you will know and you will likely own those rules for now on.
