So its OOB on the defelecting player B even if he's an OOB player?
So if the ball was deflected off the pole or backboard, then it would be out on player A?
Looks to me like player A is basically throwing the ball OOB cuz player B is already out of bounds?
interesting..

Moral of the story: dont be out of bounds. Then guys (or girls) cant throw the ball off you.

Yep....to have it any other way would open an undesireable set of possibilities.

Let's not forget that many years ago, if A1 were making a throwin, and the thrown ball contacted B1 who was out of bounds, then A1 was deemed to have caused the ball to go out of bounds, and Team B got the ball for a throwin. That old, long dead, rule still confuses people today, even those who weren't alive when the rule existed. Kind of like some urban myths, they just hang around for no rational reason.
