Inbound after made basket question- throws in before stepping out.

In the first case, it was a youth player who did not step out or on the line. In the 2nd case, the player stepped on the line, and a little out of play with one foot, while throwing it in. What is the right call here.

I would look at the player throwing in and player catching. If the original player grabs ball and happens to have foot on line, then tosses to other kid who is approaching him and it looks like they want him to throw it in I'll hold whistle. Same if kid is invoubds and tosses to player. If I see the player who catches head up floor I will call the violation.

All of this is relative to the age. If your talking young grade school I'd help them. Send them back. High school, violation as soon as they show me it isn't a toss to other player to throw it in. If the thrower is already OOB and he tosses it to other kid who is heading to him and that player steps OOB not much choice but violation unless young grade school.
