Throw-In BC Violation

I understand it, and maybe I'm one of the few people that doesn't disagree with it. Look at it this way, it's not an "exception to the exception", but rather look at it exactly as it is written - it is an exception allowed during a throw-in. When does a throw-in end? 4-42-5 tells us that - when it touches or is touched by another player either in-bounds or out of bounds. So, when the throw-in is touched by B1, the throw-in is over, thus there's no exception to worry about.

Most of the angst comes from not knowing or completely understanding the rule. The more we can pass along proper information, the less angst for all of us.

(I believe I have now hit a persoanl best for the most number of times using the word "angst" in a single post.)
