Taking off before the ball is tossed is not a violation.

Taking off after the toss is AFTER THE BALL IS LIVE, and therefore does not fit your previous scenario, nor is it a violation.

Upon the throw-in following this violation. B3 kicks the throw-in pass from A1 to A3. That's how it happens moron. But I'm just saying for arguments sake.

During this play, THE BALL IS LIVE! The ball is LIVE when you place the ball at the thrower's disposal.

You're truly clueless.
