Here are the relevant NFHS rules as I see it...
7-6-2 The throw-in starts when the ball is at the disposal of a player of the team entitled to the throw-in.
4-4-7d A ball is at the disposal of a player when it is available to a player after a goal and the official begins the throw-in count.
4-42-3 The throw-in and the throw-in count begin when the ball is at the disposal of a player of the team entitled to it.
4-42-2 A throw-in is a method of putting the ball in play from out of bounds.
Given the language of the first three, 4-42-2 should probably read "A throw-in is a method of making the ball live after it has been dead."
