The Rules by Topic book is a new concept that the NFHS started in 2006-07.
Consequently there are still some kinks in it which need to be worked out. The first year that it was published it was riddled with errors. So I'm not a big fan of this book.
However, in your case, rather than an outright error, I believe that you are just not taking what is written in the proper context. You are reading the section under "Topic: Alternating Possession" so all of the accompanying text assumes that the situation is one for which it is proper to award an alternating possession throw-in. You need to move forward in the book to "Topic: Point of Interruption" and read what it says there. It clearly states, "When point of interruption is required, play shall be resumed by...a free throw or a throw-in when the point of interruption occurred during this activity or if a team is entitled to such..."
