Bounce pass on throw-in

It is legal UNLESS the ball bounces first in the out of bounds area. In that case it would be a violation and possession would go to the opponents for a throw-in at the spot nearest the violation.

You are misreading the scenario or you got it backwards. We are talking about after a basket and A1 and A2 are both OOB, ball going from A1 to A2 and bouncing OOB while on the way there. THAT is legal.

With A1 and A2 OOB and exchanging the ball after a made shot, if the ball bounced inbounds and spun back OOB or A2 reached out and grabbed it, then that play would be illegal. So it is only legal if the ball stays OOB.
