As someone that played competitive basketball up through high school (and have also coached junior teams), I can say with a high degree of certainty that inbounding a ball (at any level) is not automatic.
Come to think of it, if you want to stay away from results oriented thinking then playing tough D and letting them take a very low percentage shot (last second, fade-away 3 pointer with a ton of pressure on you), is the right play. The foul the guy strategy brings in many more variables (which Shab did a nice job of listing above).
