Here is rule 9-2-11
The opponent(s) of the thrower shall not have any part of his/her person through the inbounds side of the throw-in boundary-line until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass.

Yabut..... does the pass to a teammate along the end line meet the definition of a throw-in pass, as per R7-6-1--"The thrower shall release the ball
directly into the court, except as in 7-5-7..." R7-5-7 is what the thrower was trying(illegally) to do- pass the ball along the end line to a teammate(s). If it doesn't meet the definition of a throw-in pass, then the opponent musta violated 9-2-11 by reaching OOB before a throw-in pass was released.
Except for that pesky l'il 9-2-12!
