However, 4-42-5a says...

The throw-in ends when the passed ball touches or is legally touched by another player in bounds.

Notice that this rule doesn't say "
legally touches or is legally touched." It just says "touches." In the play, the ball was indeed touched, and you could argue that made the throw-in over, though he illegal touching made for a kicking violation.
I just wonder why they'd leave out "legally" before touches, when the case book says something different.
