However, as Bob pointed out on the McGriff board, this year's FED rulebook made an unannounced change to 9-2 PENALTY 3. It now reads that it's a technical foul to touch the ball on the OOB side of the plane "while in possession of the thrower" or while it's being passed between OOB teammates.
This change makes the more popular interpretation (viz., there's no infraction once the throw-in pass has been released) also the more likely.

Practicing a little revisionist history?
I don't remember either side of this debate being more popular.
This unannounced rule change does, however, end the debate....it is nothing for the defense to touch the ball on the OOB side of the line once the throw-in pass is release.
