L (who is R in this game) tells the players to line up for double bonus and I hear him tell C "there is no team control during a throw in so we are shooting" C emphatically responds with a "right, right...line 'em up boys" I just stood by because clearly they had their mind made up.

After the game I brought it up and both were argued with me...exactly as I figured they would and hence the reason I didn't bother during the game.

Wasn't the reason for changing the rule to team control during a throw-in to prevent the defense from taking foul shots? Unless I'm mistaken, this situation was the very reason the rules makers changed throw-ins to team control.
