Nice try...but wrong....no matter how long the throwin takes is correct.

The throw-in doesn't end until it is touched on the court. The 5 second limit is only to release the ball for a throwin. The ball, after being thrown, could bounce in the court indefinitely with no player touching it...the clock would run and the throwin hasn't ended.
