....I disagree with the NF ruling as you presented it). When, exactly, are we to decide that passing/handing the ball to a team mate who is also inbounds constitues a throw-in? IMO this is exactly the wrong way to handle the play, it should be a delay warning or blown dead & done again properly without comment, depending on the situation.

Any other rules you want to change in order to make the game correct in your own eyes?

Nah, the game is mostly fine although I would love to see a rule that prevents coaches from being in the gym when the refs are!

Seriously, I think when it's crunch time (like A1 makes a full court pass to A2 before going OOB for the throw-in with 3 seconds left in the game) there will be lots of confusion when the violation is called, which is fine, but the real problem is when A1 decides he wants A2 to take the ball out, tosses it to him and there's a whistle for a violation.
