By Definition, The Throwin Hasn't Ended,. So ...

Good question.

NFHS 4-42-5: The throw-in ends when the passed ball touches, or is touched by, another player who is either inbounds or out of bounds.

My guess.

No contact. Violation, warning, or technical foul, if already given one of the four delay warnings. However, if the throwin is successful, I might chose to ignore it, and speak to the offending player about it. I won't ignore it a second time after speaking to the offending player.

Contact. An even better question. I still say intentional personal foul if the throwin hasn't ended, by the above definition.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. What's your story?
