Even during a throw-in?

Yes. For at least one of them and up to 5 of them.

Despite the specific wording of the ncaa rules? If they want us to use the player's INTENT to judge the play why did they use "under his/her own volition" in the new wording?

Unless a player is pushed OOB, all the actions that may carry them OOB are of their on volition at some point.
The difference are clear in my mind (some might say clear as the Mississippi River).
The difference is that one category is an attempt to gain an advantage by being OOB while the in the other being OOB is an after effect.
Diving for a loose ball or momentem after a shot are inbounds plays on a live ball that may or may not result in the player being OOB. There is no advantage gained by ending up OOB. Running OOB around a screen is using OOB to gain the advantage.
