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?

No, this is illegal. The case we were originally discussing concerns what a team is allowed to do after a made or awarded basket. Even though your play comes after a made basket the inbounding team still must throw the ball directly onto the court on the inbounding pass - which does not include all the allowed foolishness such as running the endline, players jumping out & back in , etc. Since A2 is inbounds his actions do not fall under what is allowed after a made/awarded basket. Got it?
