A group of us think it is the player who threw it off the guy, but the majority think because the guy is already established as out of bounds, it would be just like throwing it off the post or a spectator and it goes over to the other team.

That holds in rugby, which usually is easily distinguishable from basketball.
Maybe this is not the case for those pickup games.
