What the original poster describes is theoretically LEGAL.
"The throw-in pass shall not touch a teammate while it is on the out-of-bounds side of the throw-in boundary plane", 7-6-2. However, an opponent doing the same thing is not expressly forbidden.
It's gonna be a close call, however, because according to 7-6-4, "the opponent of the thrower shall not have any part of his/her person through the inbounds side of the throw-in boundary plane until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass." But if the opponent waits for the release and then contacts the ball on "the other side of the line", that's legal.
