Now change #1 to 7 seconds. It is still legal if the ball is thrown in such a way that it will come down and strike the floor inbounds, or one of the other 9 players. (You said "straight up" which technically would not be valid, since it would come down OOB.) If the player is smart he will watch your count and just after "4" let 'er fly, and half-way down the court.
