I don't have the rule book location at hand, but this play is handled by the rule that says the thrower-in (or "inbounder") must throw the ball DIRECTLY onto the court. Since A's teammate was out-of-bounds, that was the same as the ball touching OOB first. So, since A1 failed to pass the ball directly onto the court for the throw-in, it was a violation. Team B gets the ball at the spot of the violation, which is on the baseline next to their basket. There might be a Casebook play that describes bringing the ball back to the spot of the throw-in if it wasn't touched, but regardless: If a violation occurred, the ball is always inbounded at the spot closest to the violation, which in this case is at the original throw-in spot.
