Am I missing something obvious? The tip by B2 ends the throw-in, but doesn't end the exception for a player on defense. Does it? I feel like this has to be something obvious that I'm overlooking.

I believe the tip does cancel the exception, as it is considered a legal touch inbounds... thus ending the free throw and exception.
