My thoughts:
1. The playing court is the inbounds area. The court includes both the inbounds and out of bounds areas used by the players to play the game. For example, the space out of bounds used to make throw-ins is part of the court which is marked with sidelines and endlines. (Perhaps the NFHS will disagree and clarify, but for now that's my opinion.)

2. The NFHS timing rule for a throw-in just says touched while the NCAA specifies legally touched.

3. I have the clock starting in an NFHS game on both plays. (The first touch being a kick and the first touch being made by an OOB player.) I have the clock NOT starting in an NCAA game. Just another difference.

4. I formulated some of this opinion due to the thread about the throw-in/timing snafu.
