Silly monkey.
What rule are going to issue the "T" under, Skippy? You can't use 10-3-3 because the defender was never legally OOB. You don't want to use 9-3-3 and call a violation on the defense because that call will give the defense the unfair advantage that they wanted. You might be able to use 10-3-6(a), but if the defender OOB isn't interfering with the thrower or the throw-in, I can't see how that would be applicable either.

As far as I can see, the only possible choices are a "T" under 10-3-6(a) if he interferes with the throw-in or thrower in any way, or a delay warning under 9-2-10 if he's just standing OOB. Unless we know whether the defender actually interfered with the throw-in/thrower or not, we can't really tell which call was appropriate.
