You make the call

This play would happen so infrequently that it isn't even worth a long discussion about.
Whistle it dead as a violation. The thrower shall release the ball on a pass directly into the court.

That didn't happen. TWEET....play on.

I don't have this years book but it is 7-6-1 from last year

Unfortunately, by your logic 9.2.2 Sit D is illegal.

9.2.2 SITUATION D: A1 dribbles the ball on floor on the out-of-bounds area before making a throw-in. RULING: Legal, a player may bounce the ball on the out-of-bounds area prior to making a throw-in.

That's clearly not the case. One must understand that 9-2-2 (the throw-in provision basically amounting to what you posted above) only refers to the throw-in pass, not something done prior to that.

How so? The ball touched in-bounds and the player did not release it directly on a pass into the court.

Don't try and read so much into it. 9.2.2 only explains a certain exception of what the player can do while OOB with the ball.

Because you wrote "That didn't happen. TWEET....play on." That's how.

The same can be said of a player bouncing the ball. "That didn't happen. TWEET....play on." See my point?

Did I mention the part about not reading too much into it and confusing the issue?

In this scenario (which BTW is what we are talking about)...That didn't happen!!
