What would you do? (Throw-in violation?)

[McMac]

B-MS game tonight. Made basket, player goes OOB throws ball onto court, but was looking directly at me when he threw it in, like he was intending for me to get it. I was positioned OOB still. I hold position, not going for the ball.

Throw-in-er (if that is a word) went to get ball, at which point I called a violation for being the first to touch a throw-in without being "touched or legally touched by another player."

In my mind, if a player is going to toss me the ball after a basket:
A: Coach needs to teach them that they don't need to do that.
B: Actually toss it to me, not in my general direction onto the court.

What is your opinion?
