According to the 2007-08 NFHS basketball rules changes, a clarification was made to the definition of when a throw-in ends. The rule was modified to state: The throw-in ends when the passed ball touches, or is legally touched by, another player who is either inbounds or out of bounds.
This addition of “inbounds or out of bounds” was specifically noted as an editorial clarification in the 2007-08 rules changes.Prior to that change, the language did not explicitly include “inbounds or out of bounds,” which could create ambiguity about whether a player standing out of bounds could legally end a throw-in by touching the ball.
The 2007-08 committee clarified this wording so that if a player touches a throw-in pass while out of bounds, it still ends the throw-in, preventing confusion, especially during alternating-possession situations.
