So when the ball crossed the boundary line it became fair game.

Question then

If he then pulls it back can the inbounds player then reach across the boundary line to grab it since it has become fair game?????

Stupid question , but I know I will get a bunch of smart (a**) answers.

Thanks
It goes back to the rule that reads something like:

A defender may not reach through the throw-in plane until the ball is released on a throwin.

So, if the ball is behind the line and the defender reaches through the line...it is, at a minimum, a violation and possibly a T, if the ball is touched.
