Now the million dollar question for you. IF this is an AP throw in and a teammate makes contact with the ball what do you have?

I don't know if my previous post was clear, I was referring to it being a violation on the offense, not the defense. Either way, the defense would get the ball, so the act of calling it dead is somewhat moot, as scrounge indicated.
