I agree with Bob. There is PC now since that word inbounds was removed.
This same question was discussed here a couple of years ago. I was making sure nothing had changed with some new interpretation.

This has also been asked before. In this situation, what possible difference could it make whether there is player control or not?
Well, then I agree with the key. And, since the NFHS provides the key (assuming you're talking about the NFHS test, I'd say that is evidence that they didn't intend to change the definition of player control to apply while a thrower has the ball and that the deletion of the word inbounds is more likely a product of sloppy editing. Usually when they change some fundamental definition like that, the mention the change. I don't think it was mentioned...the word just quietly disappeared.
