What about the five second inbound rule? Since the throw in does not end until it touches a player, can the inbounder be charged with a violation?

The 5-second count ends when the inbounder releases the ball toward the court. You may be thinking of the "old" counting practice which continued until the ball was legally touched by a player (or legally touched a player). Some of the more seasoned veterans can tell you when this switch occurred.

I'm pretty sure that it changed in the mid 80's
