I think you misunderstood the expression "throws the ball beyond the LOS." The OP meant that the ball went beyond the LOS, not the passer.

That's how I read it too.

I should have said:
The OP meant that the ball, not the passer, went beyond the LOS.

Apologies all around.

thanks for the responses, the thing that got me got some of you. Once I clarified that the passer was not beyond the LOS but the ball was thrown beyond the LOS it was easier.

It still would not change it even if it was an illegal forward pass. B still would have got the ball with clean hands. They just would have had to decline two penalties instead of one.
