Btw, hopefully everyone already knows that a player throwing the ball in can't be called for traveling.

Isn't that one of the Basketball Rules Fundamentals? I believe it says the traveling and dribble rules do not apply during throw-ins, free throws, and jump balls. I sure hope everyone reads that section.
So, I guess using that basis, then other rules do apply during throw-ins, such as not being able to intentionally strike the ball with the leg or fist.
Now, I can see that happening right after volleyball season ends - the star server joins the basketball squad, and promptly "serves" the ball to her teammate from OOB. I blow the whistle and immediately call her for excessive lift, and the other team gets the serve, er, I mean the throw-in.
