A ball which touches a player or an official is the same as the ball touching the floor at that individual's location. How can you get around that? Throw-in provisions don't state that the ball must break the throw-in boundary line plane for the ball to legally be thrown in.

You get around it by reading
all of the rule that you cited and picking out the article that is applicable. See 4-4-1--
"A ball which is in contact with a player or with the court is in the backcourt if either the ball or the player is touching the backcourt". The "backcout" is in-bounds as per rules 1-1 and 4-13-2.If the thrower OOB now touches the ball
on the court, it's a violation as per rule 9-2-2.
