The reason is because there is a specific exception set up in rules on a throw-in (9-9-3). Otherwise, it would be considered a violation if the player jumped from the front court, secured the ball in the air (player and team control inbounds, front court status), and landed in the back court. The exception in NFHS rules allow for the player to do this, even land with the first foot in the front court, and the second foot in the back court, without penalty. The other exception is to allow a defensive player B1 to make the steal during a live ball inbounds and jump from B's front court to back court without penalty.
