Nope.
The action does not meet the NFHS definition of a throw-in and is therefore illegal.
Why? The ball must be passed according to the following:
4-42-4 . . . The throw-in count ends when the ball is released by the thrower so the
passed ball goes directly into the court.
&
7-6-2 . . .The throw-in begins when the ball is at the disposal of a player of the team entitled to the throw-in. The thrower shall release the ball
on a pass directly into the court, except as in 7-5-7, within five seconds after the throw-in begins. …
And a pass is defined as:
4-31
A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or rolls the ball to another player.
