I also believe that this is correct for NFHS rules because if we follow all of the wording that was used in the LGP "clarifications," I have to believe that by "on the court" the NFHS means inbounds.
5-9-4 . . . If play is resumed by a throw-in, the clock shall be started when the ball touches, or is touched by, a player
on the court after it is released by the thrower.
4-23 GUARDING
...
ART. 2 . . . To obtain an initial legal guarding position:
a. The guard must have both feet touching
the playing court.
b. The front of the guard's torso must be facing the opponent.
ART. 3 . . . After the initial legal guarding position is obtained:
a. The guard may have one or both feet
on the playing court or be airborne, provided he/she has
inbound status.
Of course, I am in the camp that says NEVER allow do-overs in NFHS basketball.
