We had this discussion in the WNBA this year as well.
Many felt that the throw in had to be back at the original spot due to the "ball not being thrown directly inbounds".
The final ruling was that is is thrown in at the spot where the player who caught it was OOB. Here's the rule...
"The ball is caused to go out-of-bounds by the last player to touch it before it goes out, provided it is out-of-bounds because of touching something other than a player. If the ball is out-of-bounds because of touching a player who is on or outside a boundary, such player caused it to go out."
