I think you're right. My point there is it wouldn't be hard to convince anyone that he wasn't trying to pass the ball in the general, non-rule sense.
My question here really was "Does 'to another player' encompass merely throwing the ball at a player or does it require the other player to have a chance to play the ball?" The clear consensus is that it just has to be in the general direction of a player without regard to his ability to play the ball.
