Nope, still an intentional personal foul. See case book play 10.3.10SitA(a)+ COMMENT.

Interesting, the case says nothing about whether a warning had been issued. I must have misremembered this one.

I'm guessing this line is causing some confusion:

V42 almost hugs the thrower, with both arms two feet over the line.

I didn't judge V42 to have contacted the thrower. When I say "almost hugs" I'm trying to describe the position some young, new players take when trying to guard someone, with both arms out on either side of the player they are defending.

Yup, the "almost hugs with both arms" implied physical contact to me. No contact = team "T" as per 10-1-5(c)...which was your (correct) call.

Wait....wasn't this the first throw-in plane violation? Did I miss the first one in the OP?

Yup, somewhere in the OP he stated that he called a DOG warning on both teams in the third quarter. So, the "T" was for the second plane violation.

Ah, yes, I found it:

2) I finally called a delay of game warnings on each team for breaking the plane.

APC, you probably should have nipped this in the bud early in the game, as you said:

it seemed like everyone defending the inbound wanted to reach across the line or come close.

Even with girls who don't know basketball all that well, a Technical Foul will usually get their attention, if you explain why you're issuing the T. First time it happens, warn them. Next time, T them up.
