Throw-in violation?

[zm1283]

Dropping it in bounds (And picking it up) after it's at the thrower's disposal isn't a violation either?

I'd have to see it first, but it sure reads like a violation. Two questions:

1. Are you sure it bounced in bounds? The official was right there, and if it was close, he may have given the player the benefit of the doubt.

2. Was there any defensive pressure. I'm not saying it should make a difference (or that it shouldn't), only that it often does.
