Yes, it's a live ball, but there is a specific rule that makes it intentional rather than common. That specific rule doesn't apply if the thrower reaches across the line and is fouled by a defender who does not reach across the line. That was my point.

I specified live ball to differentiate from a dead ball contact foul; not part of the OP, but worth distinguishing in this discussion, IMO.
