While loop breaking unity

Can anyone let me know why this while loop seem to be an infinite loop? The starting conditions are

    public bool areThrowing = false;
    public bool playTouch;
    private Collider[] touchList;

The in update var changes are

playTouch = Physics.CheckSphere(ball.transform.position, .5f, LayerMask.GetMask("Selected Player"));
        touchList = Physics.OverlapSphere(ball.transform.position, .5f, LayerMask.GetMask("Player"));

And the broken loop is in this method

void changePlayer(GameObject playerObj)
    {
        areThrowing = true;
        SelectedPlayer.rb.velocity = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
        Vector3 target = new Vector3(playerObj.transform.position.x + .3f, playerObj.transform.position.y, playerObj.transform.position.z - 1.2f);
        while (areThrowing == true)
        {
            if (playTouch == true && touchList[0] == ball.GetComponentInParent<Collider>())
            {
                ball.transform.position = moveMath.parabola(ball.transform.position, target, 3f, animTime / 5f);
            }
            else if (playTouch == true && touchList[0] != ball.GetComponentInParent<Collider>())
            {
                ball.transform.position = new Vector3(playerObj.transform.position.x + .3f, playerObj.transform.position.y, playerObj.transform.position.z - 1.2f);
                areThrowing = false;
                ball.transform.parent = playerObj.transform;
                Debug.Log("b");
            }
            else if (playTouch == false)
            {
                ball.transform.position = moveMath.parabola(ball.transform.position, target, 3f, animTime / 5f);
            }
        }
    }
}

Let me know if you have any ideas. playTouch is tracking interaction betwen a player gameobject and a ball gameobject. Touch list is tracking that balls interactions.
