Because there is Team control the AP is out of the question.

Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying in this paragraph. It seemed to me that you were making the case that not only would the ball be put back in play at the POI (nearest OOB spot to the location of the ball) in the situation in which the inbounds player has already touched the ball when the whistle is blown, but because the NCAA has team control during a throw-in that the same location would apply even if the whistle was sounded PRIOR to the inbounds player touching the ball.
That question has been asked and the NCAA has responded that it is not the same and clarified that the original throw-in spot is the proper location from which to continue the game. Therefore, I was trying to tell you that if the inbounds player hasn't yet touched the ball, the throw-in location for the POI returns to the original throw-in spot, which could be back on the end line.
Please notice that this is different from the two examples that you just cited. In both of those examples the inbounds player has already touched the ball. I agree with you that the ball location is the proper POI in those cases.
I'll do some research and see if I can find the clarification for the case in which the inbounds player has NOT yet touched the ball.
It seems that we misunderstood what each other was saying.
