Nope, we're arguing the meaning of the word defense.
As some people much smarter than I (but not you maybe) have already noted semantics is the study of meaning.

As I said earlier in this thread, I honestly don't know if the NFHS has a considered answer to this question or not. In a real world sense, however, it seems pretty obvious to me that the team with the ball for the throw-in is on offense.

Obvious from fan's perspective.
How about from a rules perspective?
(What I mean to say is how do you view offense & defense from the perspective of a rules expert? Don't give me the common man's view, I can call my 77 year old aunt and get that. I want your view as a rules expert.)
