There is a case play identical to this which says it is a violation. It says when the thrower touches another player inbounds he, the thrower has gained inbounds status.
It is there so can't be ignored but other case play says a player hokding ball inbounds is not out of bounds if he touches another player out of bounds.
The gaining inbound status reasoning doesn't make a lot of sense but it says it's a violation for thrower to touch a player inbounds. Case is in rule 9 early.
