"Or by a member of the throw in team from start of throw in until player control secured inbounds. "

The rules recognize that team control "during throw in" ends when the throw in ends. They add the "until ball secured/player control" because they don't want to shoot FTs for offensive fouls during the scramble.

When team control was added to throw in it said team control exists during throwin. We all know throw in ends when ball touched. So when it first came in, a ball could be deflected, then offense foul and we still shoot FTs. Ball tipped, throw in over: ball loose no team in control.

The last part was added because they did not want to shoot FTs for offensive fouls committed after throw in ended but before ball secured.

This is aggravating because you can't get this from reading the rules for the most part I don't think. There were POEs that came with it each time there was a change.
