Our state is interpreting that Situation C is a spot-throw in rather than a endline run throw-in, not because hitting the ball out of bounds is a violation, but rather because the ball was legally touched and then went out of bounds so team B did NOT commit a violation.
So in NW Washington, we will still let team A have endline run privileges if a foul or violation occurs AFTER the throw-in and the ensuing throw-in takes place once again on the endline.

Z, here's a coupla things outa the rule and case books of 2001/02, when R7-5-7 was implemented:
1) 2001/02 Rule Book-- From the "Basketball Rule Changes" -"Permits a team to run the end line on a throw-in when the scoring team, immediately following a made basket or during the ensuing throw-in, commits either a violation or foul". From the "Comments on Revisions"-- "To prohibit the team that just scored from gaining an advantage, this change permits a team to run the end line on a throw-in when either a foul or a violation is committed by the scoring team immediately following a made basket or on the ensuing throw-in". The rule quite explicitly only applies "during" or "on" the throw-in, not "after" the throw-in ends.
Of course, as per R4-41-5, the throw-in ends when the passed ball touches, or is touched by, anyone in-bounds player other than the thrower.

Jurassic,
You are preaching to the choir. I read the 2001-02 rule to him and got nowhere. The belief here is that the change in this year's rule has voided that. It's not going to be corrected here until one of three things happen:
1) A change in the rule book with wording as specific as the 2001-02 rule.
2) A case book play that specifically shows a foul or violation which occurs after the throw-in ends and the ensuing throw-in goes back to the endline.
3) A clarification on the NFHS website.
