Slightly of topic, but many, many, years ago, if A1 made a throwin that first touched B2, who was out of bounds, the NFHS interpreted this situation as a throwin violation (for having not thrown the ball directly into the court) on A1, and awarded the ball to Team B for a throwin at the original spot.

I remember from pickup games, that if you tried to save a ball by throwing it off someone out of bounds, it would always start arguments. The opposing team claiming "he was already out". Perhaps that is where it came from.
