On this play I know the answer for NCAAW would be no.
A group of officials and I discussed this scenario after a scrimmage a few years ago. We were split so I e-mailed Debbie Williamson. I e-mailed her again in Feb. of 2012 since I'd forgotten the interpretation:

From me: Good afternoon Ms. Williamson -
I hate asking you about a situation I know you answered for me a few years ago but I can't find your previous response in my old e-mail, so...
Situation: A1 makes a throw-in pass from the end line. A2 catches the pass with one foot on one of the sidelines.
Question 1: Is the ensuing throw-in by Team B at the end line due to the throw-in provisions having been violated or is it at the spot where A2 caught the ball due to the out-of-bounds provisions having been violated?
Question 2: Does any time run off the clock?
If memory serves me correctly you told me previously that the ensuing throw-in will be at the spot where A2 caught the ball and no time will run off the clock. I just wanted to make sure since the question came up again.

From Debbie Williamson: You have remembered correctly. That is still the interpretation at this time

Nothing has come out in the past two years indicating the interpretation has changed.
