Mark:

I agree with you. If the official judges that the ball is at the disposal of the team for a throw-in, then a five second count should start and if the thrower is a klutz that is his problem not the official's problem; assuming that the level of play is H.S. or higher. I might be more lenient for JrHS or lowering, but it would be a HTBT sort of play.

No way I'd have a 5 second count even started on this one.

So is it a violation to dribble (purposely, not fumble) while standing oob attempting the throw in?

No, don't have em here at my office, and I musta just missed that thread back last month. I was fairly certain there was no violation; needed a quick back up to respond to a buddy that called me earlier about it happening in a kids rec game last night. Thanks.
