NO! This was part of our discussion of the rule change last season. A player intentionally kicking the ball during a throw-in is NOT a legal touch, and the clock should not start.
If any time does come off the clock, this is a timing mistake and can be corrected by the referee.
Please note that along with the word "legally" being added to 4-42-5, it was also added to 5-9-4 for the 2007-08 season.
