Player Leaving the Floor

The game tonight made Abner Doubleday roll over in his grave. It set basketball back 30 years. Despite the horrific play, it raised a few issues. First, A1 is inbounding the ball from the baseline. Team A is aligned in a stack formation. A2 wants to get in front of the stack (closest to A1). A2 gets in front of B2 but is now standing inches from A1 and has both feet out of bounds. I called this a violation on A2 for leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason. Was that the correct call? Next time team A has the ball for a throw in, A2 rushes to get the first spot in the stack. B2 wants to get in front of A2. Is there any rule regarding this situation or is it "first come, first served" for the prized first spot in the stack?

Another sitaution with Rule 9-3-3 happended a few weeks ago. Player B1 leaves the court while A1 is in transition. It appears that B1 may be ill and may be leaving the court to vomit. Play continues with no whistle with team A in transition. After about 20 seconds, B1 is healed and re-enters the floor in a situation where team B gained no advantage from the sudden emergence of B1 (team B had the ball in half court offesne and B1 entered from backcourt, if that even matters). What is the ruling? Is illness an authorized reason to leave the floor?

Was this inbound play following a made basket by B? If so, A2 (and all the other team A players) can be OOB on the baseline.

Abner rolled over. That's how bad the basketball was.

It was not after a made basket by B.

If the player was sick, why wouldn't the officials stop the game at a point when A1 was not attacjing and allow for proper steps to be made? They kept playing through this until B had it in their FC?

A violation is the correct call here, but you have the wrong reason. This is not a leaving the floor violation, rather it is being out of bounds during a teammate's designated-spot throw-in (9-2-11).
The only rule for the position of the players on a throw-in deals with two or more teammates lining up parallel to the boundary line. That rule is 7-6-5.
That rule wouldn't apply here as these players are perpendicular to the boundary line. Therefore, the governing rule is found in 4-23-1. Basically whoever gets there first gets the spot.

Allow Team A to finish their scoring opportunity, then whistle the play dead to deal with the situation with B1. He is clearly in some kind of distress. That's an authorized reason to leave as far as I am concerned.

As for the first situation, whether or not it's a violation as Nev stated above also depends on whether the ball was at A1's disposal. If the players are jockeying for position and A2 steps out before the official put's the ball at A1's disposal, it's a dead ball and there is no violation.

Question

I still don't have an answer as to whether the throw-in was following a made basket. That would change everything in part 1.
