Violatoin in both cases.
Rule 9-2-12
Throw-in Provisions. No teammate of the thrower shall be out of bounds after a designated-spot throw-in begins.
I also agree that there certainly are cases that the T for being OOB unauthorized could occur. However, it should really be determined by what the intent was. Was it deception or the attempt to avoid another rule or was it a mistake? If a second player steps out to take over on the throwin but realizes he can't do that and steps back in, that is a violation. If he steps out on the opposite side of the same endline to lure the defense away from the thrower by immitating a pass along the endline, T.
