This is simply not true. A personal foul can happen anytime after the ball has been made alive, whether it's been released by the thrower or not. Additionally, it's a throw-in violation if the thrower does not throw the ball directly into the court. That is, the ball is released (so no possession) and then goes out of bounds before anybody else touches it. So that goes directly against your statement.

There is nothing in the NF rulebook that says that the restriction against the defense touching the ball OOB ends when the throw-in is released.
