				throw-in bounce pass hits line
			 
 
			
			On a throw in, the thrower makes a bounce pass alongthe out of bounds line, and the ball bounces on the line,
 then into the court, where it is caught by a teammate of the thrower.
 
 Has the thrower commited a violation? I say yes because of the red text below, but I have never seen it called. I passed on it in a game last night and a player questioned me.
 
 
 8-6-2
 The throw-in starts when the ball is at the disposal of a player of
 the team entitled to the throw-in. The thrower shall release the ball on a pass
 directly into the court, except as in 7-5-7, within five seconds after the throw-in starts. The throw-in pass shall touch another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched. The throw-in pass shall not touch a teammate while it is on the out-of-bounds side of the throw-in boundary
 plane.
