Team Control - Throw In Extension to Court?

There were a few vocal "steamed" members who said this would never be a problem.

It's straight from the 2011-12 NFHS PowerPoint:

*Several definitions were changed to reflect that team control will now exist during a throw-in when the thrower-in has the ball at his/her disposal.
*Under the previous rule, there was no team control during a throw-in.
*The penalty for a common foul committed by the throw-in team after the throw-in had begun resulted in free throws if the offended team was in the bonus.
*This was inconsistent with the penalty for a team-control foul in non-throw-in situations.
*The change primarily affects how foul penalties will be administered.
*By changing the definition of player and team control to include a throw-in, greater consistency in penalty administration for a common foul is achieved.
*The contest will also be expedited by eliminating the delay inherent with administering free throws.
*Only team-control fouls occurring during a throw-in were affected by this change.
*The change does NOT affect any of the following rules:
•Three seconds in the lane
•Traveling/Dribbling
•Backcourt
•Alternating-possession throw-in rules
*Minor edits occurred to some of these rules for clarification.

And a few who said they were naive. I can't remember who was who, though.
