This is why can fumble or mishandle a throw in and go and get it.

Part of the problem is there is an interpretation that contradicts the rule out of the casebook, but it is clear none of the rules ever changed in this area. This is clearer in 9.9.1 Sit D.

Umm, I think you're not understanding the question. You're answering it as if the OP is saying it's a backcourt violation. That is not the case. The OP is simply saying that the player throwing in the ball can not be the first player to touch it in bounds... which I'm pretty sure is correct.
