The throw-in doesn't end until it is touched on the court. The 5 second limit is only to release the ball for a throwin. The ball, after being thrown, could bounce in the court indefinitely with no player touching it...the clock would run and the throwin hasn't ended.

Nor can a 10 second count begin until it's controlled. So in theory it could bounce around until the clock ran out.

But would the shot clock expire first? Or does that not reset until it's touched on the floor?
