Every so often, we have a thread about this. I think the easiest way to think of it, based on the case above, is to realize that once the ball is at the disposal of team B, they have five seconds to make a legal throw-in. If, during that five seconds they make an illegal throw-in such as going OOB with the ball but step on the court while making the throw-in, we all know to call the violation. What the case is saying is that making the initial pass which has the characteristics of a throw-in pass (starts the team up the court, etc.) without stepping OOB at all first, is the same call as if B1 did step OOB but stepped on the court while making the OOB pass, that is, an illegal throw-in pass even though he never stepped OOB. When you think of it that way, it becomes a much more automatic call to make.
