Yes. These should be all the cases in which a throw-in is from the division line extended (and the ball can be thrown in the BC):
(1) start of a period, except the first but including overtimes;
(2) after a technical foul;
(3) after an unsportsmanlike foul;
(4) when the ball is advanced after a time-out in the last two minutes of the fourth period or overtimes;
(5) when penalties offset after a fight;
(6) when there is a throw-in violation during a throw-in from the division line.

During such a throw-in the player is allowed to move (1 meter), but this does not change the character of the throw-in, so the ball can be thrown in the BC even if both feet of the player are adjacent to the FC because of this movement. However, officials should hand the ball only to a player who is straddling the division line, thus making clear the character of this throw-in.

Similarly, if the spot throw-in is near the division line but in the FC and the player moves in the allotted space ending with both feet adjacent to the BC, they're not allowed to pass the ball in the BC: it's the original spot that counts.
