You got it right, but for the wrong reason. Whether the throw-in had ended is not germaine. Whether there was team control is. (FED rules)

These plays may make the BillyMac's misunderstood rules list. I have seen a number of F/JV officials kick this call already this year. They tend to want to call this a TEAM CONTROL foul and not shoot free throws even though no TEAM CONTROL has been established.

The Most Misunderstood Basketball Rules list is mostly aimed at players, coaches, and fans. I appreciate your suggestion, but the distinction between a team control foul, and a regular foul, during a throwin, is one that may be misunderstood by some inexperienced officials, but is a little too much for the average player, coach, or fan, to understand, yet, misunderstand. I will consider it, but for now, I don't think that I'll be adding it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.

Comments would be welcomed.

It's not Tito either (I think you meant germane).
