Per rule 7, sect. 2, art. 2, the out of bounds player caused the ball to be OOB.
Violation, ball to be put in play at spot nearest that location.
Also refer to case book play, 7.2.2
If the throw in happened as mentioned, the ball was 'in-play' once it touched the floor in-bounds, therefore the next player to touch it causes the OOB.
