On an inbounds play after I administer the throw-in to A1 can A2 come oob and take the ball from A1 and throw it in?

It is a violation on A2 under R-9-2-12.If you administer the throw-in,it has to be a designated-spot throw-in.

JR,
You may want to re-think or rewrite that statement.

I agree that it is a violation, what's the violation and signal?

It depends, is it a spot throw-in? If so, then no. Whoever takes the ball once it is placed at the thrower's disposal must throw it in. If it is not a spot throw in, which you will probably be administering on a time-out after a made basket, then, since they still have the baseline to run they can also pass it to someone OOB or hand it off.

When I saw the subject of the post, it also reminded me that the person throwing in cannot hand it off to a team mate inbounds either because the rule states that the ball must be thrown directly into the court.

There is not signal, just blow the whistle and state there is a violation. Just like if the thrower moves beyond his/her allocated three feet, you don't have a travel violation out of bounds, its just a violation and the ball is awarded to the other team.

Two finger point at the spot of violation.
Wave the line/plane.
Four finger point direction for other team.

It is a violation 0NLY if the throw-in is a designated spot throw-in. If there is a time out immediately after a team scores the ensuing throw-in is administered by the covering officical but is not a designated throw-in. After the ball is handed or bounced to A1 by the official, A2 could step out-of-bounds and A1 could then hand the ball to A2 and that would be legal.

I re-thunk it.Whoops!MTD Sr and Hoosier have better explanations.
