Okay by NFHS rules when does the 5 second count stop? When the ball is touched inbounds or when the ball is released. I know what I think but do not have my rulebook handy and need this confirmed.
To be nit-picky, the count stops when the ball is released toward the court. If (when allowed) two players OOB pass it to each other while OOB, the count does not stop because one released it toward the other.

And to answer your next question - yes, they can bounce it to each other.
