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.

This unannounced rule change does, however, end the debate....

How does it end the debate,Camron?  R9-2-3Penalty3 does not refer in any way to a throw-in that has been released towards the court.

No, JR, but it does seem to clarify that the T is for touching the ball in those two circumstances. So if the ball is not in one of those circumstances, it seems to say that it's not a T to touch it.
