Throw in

Not to hijack the post but....

If the offense would catch such a pass (that never crosses the endline), is that a violation? For some reason, in the far recesses of my brain, I believe that's a violation for not passing the ball directly inbounds. True?

No rule quote here at work, I'm sure someone here will get it, but, yes, it is a violation.

from an old set of the rules....but I don't think the text for this one has been changed at all...

RULE 7 - OUT OF BOUNDS AND THROW-IN
SECTION 6 THROW-IN ADMINISTRATION

ART. 1 . . . (snip) The throw-in pass shall not touch a teammate while it is on the out-of-bounds side of the throw-in boundary plane.

The text hasn't changed, but it's now under 7-6-2. Last sentence of that article.

Does that mean the ball call be a legally be touched after any part of the ball is inbounds or the entire ball is inbounds? Hate to be picky but it's going to come up in my mind anyways lol

That point is not specified....it could even be after the center of the ball passes the throw-in plane.
