My point is according to rule 4.42.5:
The throw-in ends when the passed ball touches, or is legally touched by, another player who is either inbounds or out of bounds.
In situation posted the throw in never ends by a touch.
So, does rule 9.2.2 mean it is a violation to throw a ball in that doesn't touch anyone and proceeds to go oob?
I feel really dumb on this one....don't beat me up too bad.

Sometimes as refs we get hung up on technicalities and forget common sense.
It makes sense that if a throws the ball away they commited a violation and loose the ball and the arrow.
A couple of people referenced the rules above.
Sometimes we (meself included) think too hard about this stuff.
there is an old saying. "keep it simple stupid"
Not calling you stupid LOL, but the point is try not to over think everything.
