But it doesn't have to be passed. A passed ball has to be touched, but the ball doesn't have to be passed.

Look at the definition of the throwin; specifically how it ends.

Yup, but then look at case 7.6.3 Sitch A. If the throw-in hadn-t ended, why would the basket count?

I guess they're defining a pass to include reaching the ball through the plane??

Seems weird, but that's how it seems to play out.

Semantics, but I didn't claim, I questioned.

7.6.4 SITUATION F: Thrower A1 inadvertently holds the ball through the end-line plane during a throw-in. B1 is able to get his/her hands on the ball and A1 cannot pull it back.

The case play does not say A1 and B1 are in a tug-of-war but I think it assumes it. It could occurr where the ball is cleanly snatched from A1, yet B1 got their hands on the ball and A1 could not pull it back (meeting the terms of 7.6.4).

Then B should get the ball on the held ball situation discussed in my OP.

Read it as "The throw in ends when the released ball is legally touched."

In the OP, the ball wasn't released.

In the revision, the ball was released (but not "voluntarily" -- that doesn't matter).

In the case play, yes, it's assuming action that would be a "held ball" if it happened during inbounds play.

Just another example of the need for re-working the rule book.

This makes sense. Just wish the rule was more clear.

What isn't clear about rule 4-42-5--"The throw-in ends when the passed ball touches....."?

You never had a "passed" ball in the play being discussed, so the throw-in never ended. Therefore, the arrow doesn't change.

Y'alls are just over-thinking this one way too much.

So you're saying I was right!

Wait a minute!! You said the ball should go to B. That's NOT right.

I was talking about my posts 22, 28, 31, and 33. Without the throwin ending, A should keep the arrow. If the throwin ends here without a pass, then B should keep the ball and the case book is wrong.
