JR's replies don't seem to be referencing the situation quoted. The ball has been released. No violation. Am I missing something.

Yup, I sureasheck am referencing the situation quoted. The ball was released, but it wasn't
ever released on a throw-in pass; it doesn't meet the definition of a throw-in pass under R7-6-1. It does, however, meet the definition of an endline pass to a teammate under R7-5-7. If it's
not a throw-in pass, then by rule(specifically R9-2-11) the defender can't reach OOB and touch the ball. If he does---->warning and repeat throw-in. Unless, of course, you also penalize the thrower-in's teammate for being illegally OOB during a spot throw-in at the same time, as per R9-2-12, which he certainly was.
