This one got me to thinking, too. Why would the fumble OOB be a violation on a non-spot throw-in? The thorwer(s)-in can dribble, pass back and forth, and even bounce pass to each other (within 5 seconds) so I'm not sure if that would be a violation. The Rule Book does not address throw-in fumbles exactly, so it is hard to back up any opinion one may have.
