Throw in

[surehands]

B2 has the ball for an end line designated spot throw in. B2 attempts to pass to a teammate in the far corner of her frontcourt where the sideline and end line meet. After the pass has been released , defender A4 jumps from the court, crosses the plane of the end line in the air, intercepts the pass on the out of bounds side of the end line, and throws it back onto the court before touching down out of bounds.
I say this is a tech on A4 for breaking the plane and making contact with the ball in the air out of bounds. Isn't touching the pass out of bounds the same as if the thrower isholding the ball?
