Is there even a debate (PC during throw-in)?

However, I am frustrated because my state (or at least the 65+ year-old that does all the rules presentations) is insistent that there is no player control during a throw-in. We were all told that at the state rules clinic by the presenter. And then we took the statewide exam on Saturday and of course this question was on there, much to my chagrin...

"There is no player control during a throw-in." (True or False)

Of course, I answered "true" based on what the state insists rather than what the rulebook says.

Thoughts?

Huh? According to that quiz there is no player control during a throw-in because the correct answer is "None of the above".

Maybe it's just semantics.

There is PC at the beginning of (most) throw-ins (excepting when the ball is placed on the floor). But, PC ends when the ball is released, even though the throw-in continues.

It would be correct to say that there is no PC THROUGHOUT a throw-in, and sometimes "during" is used as a synonym for "throughout."

2009-10 Rules Book states: 4-12-1 . . . A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. (italics added)
The "inbounds" wording was removed, to bring the statement in line with the current "team control during a throw-in" ruling.
Thus, the current understanding would cause me to answer that there is player control during a throw-in.

Look again at the answer key for question #10. The answer key says the correct answer is "d."
