Can you cite a rule that makes it legal to to touch the ball after the release or is it the lack of a rule that makes it legal?

In situation (2), how is a defender (or official) to know that the "thrower" is not throwing it to a teammate in the adjacent corner? The different rulings leave me unsure. Again, is there a rule that I can refer to?
