I have always believed that DTTB's situation with the OOB to OOB endline pass is a T on B. For that reason, I think that NFHS ought to disallow anyone reaching over from IB to OOB to touch the ball - if you are on one side, stay there til the ball gets there. However, reading the rules, I agree that once the ball is released toward the court on a throw in it seems that you can touch the ball on either side of the boundary plane.
This means that you must differentiate between a throw-in and an exchange between two OOB players after a made basket.
How about a last sitaution for fun: after a made basket, A1 takes ball OOB, B1 had fallen OOB after taking lay-up, B1 going back on court as A1 passes along endline to A2, ball hits B1 in the head, bounces onto court where B2 steals ball and makes layup. What do you have?
