Thanks for all your input, this is what actually happened when I saw this. The referee near the play called a technical foul as the pass was released and incidental contact occurred. Perhaps in his judgement the scoring player touched the throw in player on purpose. But as we discussed, the correct call if that was that case should be an intentional foul. IMHO, if the contact was incidental but clearly put the offense at a disavtage, a personal foul would be the call.
