It depends, is it a spot throw-in? If so, then no. Whoever takes the ball once it is placed at the thrower's disposal must throw it in. If it is not a spot throw in, which you will probably be administering on a time-out after a made basket, then, since they still have the baseline to run they can also pass it to someone OOB or hand it off.
When I saw the subject of the post, it also reminded me that the person throwing in cannot hand it off to a team mate inbounds either because the rule states that the ball must be thrown directly into the court.
There is not signal, just blow the whistle and state there is a violation. Just like if the thrower moves beyond his/her allocated three feet, you don't have a travel violation out of bounds, its just a violation and the ball is awarded to the other team.
