Sorry, you didn't specify that you were after NFHS.
For NFHS, 15-1-2 is the relevant rule.
"The ball shall be thrown in any direction
from the point where it crossed the touchline ..."
Those are the
exact same words used in FIFA's The Laws of the Game. The NFHS does not provide a clarification of their meaning--the USSF does. In the absence of such from the NFHS, should we make up our own definition or go with what the USSF wrote? I believe that it makes better sense to do the latter.
Why? Who do you think wrote those words first? The NFHS obviously made a concious decision to use the same wording. That tells me that they wanted their rule to be the same.
