If the sideline continued past the endline they would have stepped over that extended line.
Because there was no defensive pressure, I let it go but after I thought about it a little, I may have chunked it.

You'd be opening up yourself to controversy by calling a violation here; as it is not a good practice but the ball into play from that position. Best thing to do would be to stop play (if there was pressure) and definitively move the thrower to either the sideline or endline allowing for space to make a throw in.
