No, because (as you well know, I'm sure, or you wouldn't be asking the question

), we are specifically told that the ball is in play and that the defender may hold it or bat it away from the inbounder.

If the throw-in is a bounce pass, that touches the court inbounds, and then is touched by a player (either team) with a foot on the OOB line, are you still saying the ball "is already out of bounds."

Obviously not, because the ball touched the court inbounds. Legal throw-in. But that's also obviously not the situation that is under discussion.
