So it's come up in a game I'm in that returning shield says both "If a shield champion has additional attacks from a high base attack bonus, these additional attacks can be ricochets off an earlier target." AND "A shield champion can throw a shield as part of a brawler's flurry."

Now I (the Shield Champion) argue that the last line is meant to be that the Shield Champion can make all their Brawler's Flurry attacks with the thrown shield, since they can normally wield a shield with Brawler's Flurry (they're a Close weapon)

The GM refers to the first line and says that the Shield Champion can throw the shield and get his BAB attacks, but can't throw the 'Offhand' attacks, since they're not 'Iterative'.

Any official word that I've missed that clarifies this?

Bonus question: Can you combine any of that with Rapid Shot?

So I've looked around a bit and nobody's asked this question yet, at least not that I can tell.

What is the penalty for using a 1h (or 2h) weapon with Brawler's Flurry? I can see it going one of two ways:
1) It's a 1h weapon, and you're using it for the 'offhand' attacks portion of a Two-Weapon Fighting attack, therefore you suffer -4 to hit with all attacks.
2) Since all attacks are made with one weapon you don't have an 'off-hand' weapon, therefor you only suffer as though using Unarmed (Light) weapons.

I think the implication is that it's more like #2, since that's how Monk's Flurry of Blows works, but Flurry of Blows uses it's own rules and Brawler's Flurry borrows from Two Weapon Fighting.
