I will see if I can explain this clearly... (the court has a restraining line). After a made basket. A1 is inbounding the ball and standing out of bounds. A2 is standing between oob and restraining line. Can A1 pass the ball to A2 and A2 begin his dribble up the court? Rule book says that restraining line is the boundary line. I think that this would be the same as carrying the ball in bounds and would be a violation since A2 received pass while he was oob.

The restraining line becomes a boundary line on a throw-in, and it remains a boundary line until the ball crosses the restraing/boundary line. In this case after a made basket, it's OK for A1 to pass to A2 OOB inside the restraining line, but it's a violation for A2 to then carry the ball in-bounds over the boundary/restraining line.

Rules reference is NFHS rule 1-2-2.
