I just rethought my position. I would also just call a violation for this reason: 9-2-12 specifically deals with this situation. To utilize a source that has no bearing here, Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised states that a
specific statement, when it applies, always trumps a
general statement. 9-2 deals specifically with throw-in provisions, whereas 10-3-3 deals only generally with stepping OOB.

specifically with players stepping out of bounds. It covers ALL situations, including throw-in situations.
The only thing that you had right was that your source had no bearing at all on this situation.
