I can't tell you how much I value your input Dave, but it time to put you back in the box. Say hi to BigGuy for me.

They are both rare moves - I agree.
My intention was to simply point out the possible legality of the move described by the initial poster - not to make an assessment of how often it is used. Unquestionably - it's rare.
I got distracted when you mentioned
stepping off then throwing. That is also very rare.
This is not to be confused by the common tactic of rapidly stepping off. When this is done, there is almost never a throw. It's usually done to break the runner's rhythm - not to pick him off.
