Ball is at dispoisal of A1 for a throw in. While passing in the ball, A1 steps on the boundry line but not actually onto the court. Violation?

Why would this be a violation?

Its not and I have not called it that way but have worked with some who have so I was curious to see if I was missing something. A post by MTD has explained the origin of this misperception.

Not necessarily. Misperceptions need no excuse. "He stepped on the line so we should get the ball" is a deeply rooted concept which often does not bother with any further details, no matter which line, or from which side.
