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

[bballref3966]

We all know what the rule says: "A player is in control of the ball when (s)he is holding or dribbling a live ball." This would seem to imply that there is PC during a throw-in. Referee released its basketball quiz today (http://www.referee.com/downloads/qui...iz_2014-15.pdf) and agrees that there is indeed PC during a throw-in (see question #10).

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?
