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

Since he was not out of play, would this be a throw in violation? Couldn't this just be a player tossing to another player, who will be inbounding? 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.

Play 1: immediate violation once you realize this was not throwing to another player to perform the throw-in.

Play 2: I need more information to clarify where the player was when he threw it. Was his foot completely out of bounds (to include being on the line) or was part of it touching in bounds? If that foot was OOB, where was the other foot?
