As I recall, the exception in Tony's quiz referred to a player from team A jumping from frontcourt, catching the throw-in while in mid-air, then passing it to a teammate in backcourt. Big difference, is it not?

B1 touches the ball ending the throw-in.
A2 leps from his FC, therefore having FC status.
When he catches the ball, he has FC status and he establishes team control.
When he lands in the BC, he has violated.
It's no different than catching said ball and throwing it to a teammate in the BC.
Folks may not like it, it may not fit what people have always said, but it is a violation. This play is not DURING a throw-in.
