Breaking the boundary plane during a throw-in without contacting the thrower or the ball in the thrower's hands is one of the four delay of game warnings.
The second time that a team does one of these four acts a TEAM technical foul is charged.
Imagine if the first act was a boundary plane infraction and the second was for water on the court following a TO. Obviously no way to penalize an individual player in such a situation. Hope that clarifies it for you.
