You can hook whoever/whenever you want, but it's likely to annoy people (especially in throw-ins). If it results in a reckless situation then you'd possibly get called on it.
Hooking players (and screening/blocking players) off the ball is essentially admitting that you're more useful "taking out" a player on the other team than being in space/active in the game yourself. So if it bothers you in throw-ins, just remember that they're essentially suggesting that you're a better player then them, win.
