In my game, I'm not really going to think anything of the first, unless it happens more than once, and I'm going DOG on the second the first time it happens.

Exactly, helping direct the ball to the team that is due a throw in is not delaying anything....which is what the rule is for. The rule doesn't prohibit them from touching/tapping/batting the ball.
