They have to step out of bounds to be given or awarded the right for a legal or legit throw-in. I don't deem the play we're talking about an illegal throw-in or even a throw-in violation because he was not at the proper spot to make a, by definition, THROW-IN.

9-2-2 The ball shall be passed directly into the court FROM OUT OF BOUNDS... (my emphasis). That's what the rule says. If it isn't passed from oob, it's against the rules. Period.
