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.

 Would you call this a violation or just reset and initiate a proper throw in?
