During a designated spot throw in by A-1. A-2 steps out of bounds next to A-1. Is this a technical foul or violation?

Taking a test, eh? Why don't you give us all the questions at one time instead of dribbling them out one at a time :)

Violation.

Violation if the ball is thrown to him. Technical if not.

In real life. Violation.

Violatoin in both cases.

Rule 9-2-12
Throw-in Provisions. No teammate of the thrower shall be out of bounds after a designated-spot throw-in begins.

I also agree that there certainly are cases that the T for being OOB unauthorized could occur. However, it should really be determined by what the intent was. Was it deception or the attempt to avoid another rule or was it a mistake? If a second player steps out to take over on the throwin but realizes he can't do that and steps back in, that is a violation. If he steps out on the opposite side of the same endline to lure the defense away from the thrower by immitating a pass along the endline, T.

Camron - don't forget the T on the howler monkey for yelling at you when you call the T. :rolleyes:
