On a throw-in (in NFHS) there is no team control. The ball will not have any "status" until it is controlled in bounds. 9-9-3 allows for the special case when a player jumps from FC, catches the ball, and lands with one or both feet in BC. It states this in not a violation no matter which foot touches first, so long as the landing is "normal." In the case where the player landed straddling the division line, the ball would have BC status and there would be no violation even if the FC foot touched first - so long as the landing was normal.

If, on a throw-in, A1 jumps from FC, secures the ball in the air, and passes to A2 in BC, this would be a violation.

A1 who has FC status, deflects a throw-in into BC where A2 secures control would not be a violation. Team control is not established until A2 secures control.
