Bounce pass on throw-in

so if after a made basket by B, A1 is OOB and he/she throws a "bounce pass" to A2 who is inbounds, but the bounce pass contacts the court OOB before A2 catches it inbounds....is this legit?
(If this were a *designated spot* throw, this would be illegal I believe.)

Violation for failing to throw the ball directly in bounds,as per R9-2-2. Doesn't matter if it is a spot throw-in or not. The difference in the 2 plays is that one is a throw-in and the other one is a pass between the 2 players on the end line OOB,and the rules therefore cover them differently..
