Ruling: a) OOB at the spot of the original throwin b & c) OOB nearest the violation (spot the ball went OOB).

I can't find this case play anymore or justification for c). Am I crazy for remembering this? Thanks all

Don't have time to find the case, but the justification for c is that A2 violated by causing the ball to be OOB. Same as if it were B2. Thus, that is the spot of the violation. A1, the thrower, was not party to the violation and completed the throw legally....to another player (who happened to cause it to be OOB).
