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.

Well I am not sure if that is an accurate verbatim quote of Dirty Harry, BUT, and I will keep this in the realm of the NFHS:
From the NFHS Rules Book:
R9-S2: Throw-in Provisions
NFHS R9-S2-A2: The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court from out-of-bounds so it touches or is touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched.
From the NFHS Casebook:
Play 9.2.2 SITUATION C: A1 scores a basket. After the ball goes through the net, B1 grabs it and makes a move toward the end line as though preparing to make a throw-in. However, B1 never legally steps out of bounds, both feet remain inbounds. B1 immediately passes the ball up the court to a fast-breaking teammate, who scores a basket. RULING: Cancel Team B's goal, throw-in violation on B1. The ball was at B1's disposal after the made basket to make a throw-in. B1 must be out of bounds to make a legal throw-in. (R7-S4-A3; R7-S5-A7)
What part of these the Rule and the Casebook Play don't you understand. They go hand-in-hand. The Casebook Play is to show the application of the rule. A Casebook Play has the force of the Rule. It is analogous to the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling. That ruling has the force of law. Get over it and apply the Casebook Play.
