(The logic being that it is perfectly legal to touch the ball to the ground out of bounds - or bounce/dribble it - prior to making any throw-in, let alone a 7-5-7 throw-in.)
Or is this a violation because, as Jurassic is citing, it's treated the same as bouncing the ball on an actual throw-in pass that first touches out of bounds on it's way to going in bounds?

If the pass is between two teammates who are both standing OOB, it's legal just like it's legal to bounce pass between them. If the pass is the inbounds pass, it's illegal if it bounces OOB first.
Basically, if the ball touches the floor, it must then be caught by a player with the same status as the spot of the floor touched by the ball; and it must not touch the floor in both IB and OOB before touching another player.
