Isn't it also a technical foul (and delay of game warning if not already warned) if the defender crosses the boundary and touches the ball on a "run the endline throwin" when inbounder number one passes the ball to to inbounder number two? In this case the defender may not be any where near either offensive player, who are both out of bounds.

9-2 Penalties

3. If an opponent(s) of the thrower reaches through the throw-in boundary-line plane and touches or dislodged the ball while in possession of the thrower or being passed to a teammate outside the boundary line (as in 7-5-7), a technical foul shall be charged to the offender. No warning for delay is required. See 10-3-10 Penalty.
