Tech foul is also a personal foul?

1) In NO instances would you call a violation first before calling a "T" for touching the ball while it's being held out-of-bounds by the thrower. There is one penalty only for the act described.

2) There NEVER was a provision for an offensive violation for the thrower's arm crossing a boundary line during a throw-in. EVER!
