If the ball technically hits the inbounds portion of the court....and the hand of the defender technically breaks the plane.....and the ball technically was "Not releases toward the court."
If the defender cleanly secured the ball I would give the defender the steal. Reason if the offensive player is that close to the line to have the ball going straight down versus toward the court, part of the ball has broken the plane!!
If either coach was yelling.... you have the best angle... considering the throw-in was on the endline!!!
I didn't know that we had to be geomerty experts to officiate! Planes, lines, angles!
