Uh no, 10-3-3 deals 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.

Anything that covers "all situations" is by definition
not specific. If I tell you that all animals should die, but not cats, your logic would mean that even cats should die, even though I SPECIFICALLY said otherwise.
Look at it this way: "If A1 steps out-of-bounds for an "unauthorized" reason, he should be called for a technical foul. If A1 steps out-of-bounds during a throw in by team A, he should be called for a violation." So we should take the rule dealing with stepping out of bounds over the rule dealing with stepping out of bounds during a throw in?
