Had a game critical reset last night on a player for a kick jumping in front of a throw in when shot clock was at 3 and game clock at 11. (Fans of the kicker were outraged and adamant that it wasn't a kick (I remain gobsmacked at behavior of parents at JV HS games and what they yell at refs, but I digress . . ). I suspect it was a good call - tough to judge from the stands (and with my own bias) but kid probably was reaching his foot toward where he thought the ball was to be thrown.)

Hard to imagine a scenario in which a throw-in hits the leg/foot of a player defending the throw-in and we don't have a kick violation. Maybe if the thrower is trying a bounce pass between the defender's legs? Or maybe the thrower intentionally throws the ball at the defender's foot/leg thinking that will earn a shot clock reset?
