U.P. where you live the players are smart enough not to reach through the out of bounds plane and touch the ball in this situation. I had this exact play in a game last year. After a made basket and a time-out the coach asked me if they could run the endline. They set up a play to pass it along the endline and have a player go deep. One of the defenders tried to intercept the endline pass out of bounds knocking the ball into the wall. Of course it was the first game of the season and it took a minute to get the call right. As far as the player not knowing weather or not the ball is released for throw-in or not isn't our problem. If they are passing it along the baseline after a made basket and they touch the ball, it is a T. If they miss the ball it is a warning.
