Throw sots out (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toss

'throw' is the definition.
(I know that toss is a more specific form of the action the throw)

'sots out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sots' with letters rearranged gives 'TOSS'.

(Other definitions for toss that I've seen before include "Throw tt" , "'Flip, a coin or pancake say (4)'" , "Pitch" , "Do it with caber in Scotland" , "cast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
