As soon as the thrown ball touches the other player the action meets the definition of a pass. What the thrower actually wanted to do has nothing to do with it. When officiating plays, you have to go by the definitions.

4-31 A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or rolls the ball to another player.
