In most conditions, no. Assuming you have the glass of water sitting at the same temperature as the outside environment, if the external temperature is low enough to be below freezing temperature (0 Celsius/32 Fahrenheit) then the water in the glass would already be frozen before it was thrown.

However, let's assume the water is in an above-freezing environment, then quickly taken into a below-freezing environment, and thrown from the glass before it can freeze inside the glass. I've seen videos of this happening, and the flying water particles do indeed freeze in mid-air, however since the water is so dispersed in the air it doesn't turn into a chunk of ice like you might expect, instead it turns into something resembling snow as it's thrown and flutters out in a cloud. From what I hear, for this to happen it needs to be somewhere around -50 Fahrenheit.

If you freeze a glass of water will the water contract?

Once i put a full glass of water in the freezer and totally forgot about it. The next day i opened the fridge and the glass was broken. I belive that ice expands and not contracts. If you see the discovery channel and see what happens to the ground in nature. Its like an inch taller than normal when frozen ... i think from personal observation.
