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.

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