Yup, you're missing case book play 6.4.5SitB as already cited.

Where you're getting screwed up is in the definition of a throw-in. Take a look at rules 4-42-4&5. To have a throw-in, the ball must be released by the thrower directly into the court. Article 5 also says that the the throw-in ends when the passed ball touches or is legally touched by another player. In the play being discussed, the ball was NEVER released or passed. Ergo....the throw-in never ended.

Make sense now?
