I still believe "a player" refers to pc after the throw-in has legally ended &
"or his team" refers to any tc after pc has been established.
Call me Randy, but I just cant see beginning a 10 second count before the throw-in has legally ended.

Hopefully, they'll word the change to address this, but simply adding TC to the throw-in would change the rule in this regard. We can't see doing it the other way because it's a very basic thing now; 10 second count doesn't start until a player on the court establishes PC. But the only reason for that is TC is required for the count and doesn't exist on the TI.
I think "Player" is superfluous here, because PC in the BC is technically not required for a 10 BC violation.
