The part that is in parentheses is confusing me....to what is that referring? The ball, the floor, or a player? Any clarifying example would be appreciated. Thanks, Skarecrow
It's referring to a another player.

If A1 throws the ball into the court and it hits another player, it is not a throw-in violation, even if that other player is standing out of bounds (it would be an out-of-bounds violation on the player that it hit rather than a throw-in violation). The ensuing throw-in would then be at the spot of the out-of-bounds violation.

If the throw-in went out of bounds without touching another player, you would have a throw-in violation and the throw-in awarded to team B would take place at the same spot where team A had their original throw-in.
