Of course we
could, but why should we? I'm not saying that it's not workable; the NCAA has shown that it is.
What I'm saying is that I hate the idea of changing one of our most basic definitions, when there's no compelling reason to do so. Team control is established when a player from that team establishes control. But during a throw-in, we know that there
is no player control.
So not only do we have to add the two articles you list, but we also have to add an article to how team control is established.
Why do that when you can simply make ONE change to the penalty section so that any common foul during a throw-in results only in possession of the ball to the offended team?
Less is more. Especially when "less" involves preserving the essential definitions of the game.
