No, there is not. You can make a throw-in pass toward the basket, but it has to touch a player first. So can you alley-oop off a throw-in? Sure! But if you score directly, lodge the ball, or cause it to come to rest on the flange, it's a throw-in violation.
The initial touching of the throw-in
can coincide with basket interference (I believe we had this discussion recently in another thread).
