Awarding points on a throw in

It seems strange that the fed only cites the touching part of BI, when it's a violation for an untouched ball to pass through the goal per 5-1-1. One could argue that the ball must be touched for an awarded goal to count, because there is nothing about contacting the basket in the case play.

The other citation has nothing to do with the OP.
