This play is not covered definitively under NFHS rules.

The rules are present and are very clear....I'll quote them...
Rule 7-4-4 The ball is awarded out of bounds after the ball becomes dead while a team is in control, provided no infraction or end of a period is involved, as in 7-5-4.
- So, the ball becomes dead at the whistle, right? Yes.
- Was team A in team control? Yes.
- Was there a goal or infraction involved? No.
Every element of 7-4-4 has been met and refers us to 7-5-4.
Rule 7-5-4...After a dead ball as in 7-4-4, any player of the team in control shall make the throw-in from the designated spot out-of-bounds nearest to the ball when it becomes dead.
Where does it say to take it out? Closest spot! Q.E.D.
Note there is no consideration for timing errors mentioned...corrected or not.
