Says who?  I'm reading rule 10.3.12 that says a player should be T'd if (s)he reaches "through the throw-in boundary-line plane and touches....the ball...."
Doesn't say anything about the ball being released.
Of course, I'd probably be hesitant to call the T unless it's pretty obvious, but I think a stickler of the rules could have a point.

Right -- but 9-2-11 says "until the ball has been released"
So either one of the two rules is "Wrong" or it's a legal play that results in a T,
Like Crew's discussion on "inbounding the ball without going out of bounds first," this play has received much discussion over the years. Still waiting for the FED to clarify it.
