As to your argument with regards to throwing to or at, that's a pass to EVERYONE in the game of basketball. There's no way in hell you're going to be able to convince the majority of players, coaches, officials, that a thrown ball, that HITS HIS TEAMMATE, isn't a pass. And if it's me vs. the world....

Then the world has a lot to learn?

I'll bet you a dollar that if you got Kevin Love alone over a beer and asked him if he was trying to pass the ball he'd say of course not.

Perfectly legal play that no competent official would ever consider blowing his/her whistle on.

Hey! I know it's wrong, I just had it categorized under illegal dribble instead of travelling.
