Well I guess we could treat that as incidental unless the contact rises to the level of an intentional foul. Not exactly what they wanted but I'm just saying...

The defender may not break the imaginary plane during a throwin until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass. If the defender breaks the imaginary plane during a throwin before the ball has been released on a throw-in pass, the defender’s team will receive a team delay warning, or if the team has already been warned for one of the four delay situations, this action would result in a team technical foul. If the defender contacts the ball after breaking the imaginary plane, it is a player technical foul and a team delay warning will be recorded. If the defender breaks the imaginary plane, and fouls the inbounding player, it is an intentional personal foul, and a team delay warning will be recorded. It is an intentional personal foul if the defender fouls the inbounding player, even without breaking the imaginary plane, however, in this specific case, there is no delay of game warning because the defender did not break the boundary plane.

Don't think so. If there's contact, it's an intentional foul. Now, if the contact is missed, ...

Good point, I guess in this case there is no such thing as incidental contact. I still don't like it.

Wonder about contact with the hand....

Intentional Foul.

What's the call if the ball has been released by the player inbounding the ball, but is still on the out of bounds side of the line and is touched by the defender? Is the ball awarded to the same inbounding team again for another inbounds play?

Most of the questions can be answered by the wording in 9-2 (penalty 3) and 10-3-10. The technical foul is for reaching through the boundary plane and dislodging the ball while it is in possession of the thrower or being passed between teammates out of bounds.

So the answer to your question depends on where the thrower was throwing the ball. If he was throwing to a teammate OOB, T. If he had released the throwin pass, play on.
