Other situation: Some schools have TONS of room off of the court. Rule says the player can be as far away from the out of bounds line, as long as they're in their approx. designated spot lane. If they bounce pass it in, but the bounce occurs out of bounds, you're going to call this a violation?
Let's be even more ridiculous: Player dribbles (bounces) the ball out of bounds once before making the throw-in. Violation?
Isn't the real intent of the rule being an in-bounds pass that goes out of bounds untouched?

BJ,
Although this comment by footlocker, "if a player releases the ball the throw n begins," is not totally correct, it does work for designated-spot throw-ins.
And now that it is you that has been shown to be clearly incorrect. Hopefully, in the future, you will not be so sardonic in your posts.
