However, as Bob pointed out on the McGriff board, this year's FED rulebook made an unannounced change to 9-2 PENALTY 3. It now reads that it's a technical foul to touch the ball on the OOB side of the plane "while in possession of the thrower" or while it's being passed between OOB teammates.
This change makes the more popular interpretation (viz., there's no infraction once the throw-in pass has been released) also the more likely.

This unannounced rule change does, however, end the debate....it is nothing for the defense to touch the ball on the OOB side of the line once the throw-in pass is release.

How does it end the debate,Camron?
R9-2-3Penalty3 does not refer in any way to a throw-in that has been released towards the court. It only refers to a player holding the ball OOB, or a player
passing the ball along the end line OOB to another player. That passing play is
not a throw-in pass. A released throw-in towards the court is not mentioned at all.
