An actual rules question, for a change

Even though there have been multiple rules mentioned, the only one that applies to teammates being OOB on a throw-in is 7-5-7. The context of this rule is the throw-in after a made basket, and what is allowed. The purpose is to allow teammate(s) to be OOB to receive a pass (or fake receiving a pass, or jump up and down and yelling, "throw it here!!", whatever). However, using OOB to get around a screen is also specifically disallowed. The two are not mutually exclusive; they can both be in effect...

...no, they cannot.

In Chuck's play A3 has the authority to be OOB. Period. If the rule was meant to be taken as you interpret it then A3 would be whistled for a violation as soon as he stepped OOB, since the wording you provided states:

The violation will be called as soon as the player leaves the court.

Which would effectively eliminate the ability of a team to have more than 1 player OOB on these throw-ins. If they were both in effect during this play that is.
