Unless there is something to contradict rule 4-12, there is player control during a throw-in:
old 4-12: A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball
inbounds.
new 4-12: A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball.
Again, unless there is a rule reference, case reference or interpretation stating otherwise, this would mean that, by rule, 3 seconds is in effect during a throw-in.
Clarification and consistency is definitely needed, since some potential repeated violations would be obvious.
