On count 3 when the ball is passed to another player still out of bounds, count 3 to 4 when the ball is in the air, count 4/5 when the ball is caught still out of bounds, count 5 when the ball is being passed to a player in bounds = an almost sure 5 seconds violation
typically the ball is passed to someone else out of bounds, then immediately passed back to the original inbounds passer

Oh my!
You need to do some reading, podner. See rule 4-42-4. The throw-in count ends when the ball leaves the thrower's hands going in bounds. Your 5-count shoulkd have been terminated at 4.
Don't make it anymore difficult than it is. It's a fairly easy call. Don't even bother about OOB passes or anything like that. Just count to 5 and blow your whistle if the ball hasn't started on the way onto the court.
