I had a long discussion about this tonight. It involved Part II question 70. I referenced 7-6-4 and the difference between a thrower (4-42-1) and a player out of bounds throwing the ball to another player along the endline as in 7-5-7.

At one time, I am pretty sure it was a "delay of game" warning if the defender touched the ball outside the boundary line after it was released by the thrower.

Is it still a warning? What is the citation? Can a defender deflect the pass from a player to a teamate along the endline as in 7-5-7? Is a throw-in free game for defenders once it has been released by the thrower?

Please Help.
