Here's a thought. Would you penalize a technical foul while the wrong team has the ball at their disposal on a throw-in? I'm confident all of us would. (It would also clear up the who-gets-the-ball-now discussion, too.)

I would call any T not related to the defense breaking the plane or touching the ball.

I didn't say this was a correctable error, I just said I would use some of the same logic when adjudicating the play. Also, I never said my opinion was backed by a rule. But the rule or case book does not directly address these variables.
