It isn't clear to me if you're talking only about a more narrow case. Here is how I understand the two rules, and they are different.
The NCAA rule allows for an offensive touch (in the FC) after the defensive deflection (in the FC).
NFHS does not. The NFHS exception only allows (unnecessarily) an offensive player already in the backcourt to directly catch/touch a ball deflected by a defender (in the FC) without first letting it hit the floor in the BC. If the offense touches the ball in the FC after the defensive deflection, the exception doesn't apply.
