We are getting ready to pick my mother-in-law up to take her out for a surprise birthday dinner party celebrating her 85th birthday today, so I am not about to climb up into the attic. Therefore, I will attempt to answer Billy's question from memory.
I can definitely tell you that:
1) When I started officiating in 1971, the National Basketball Committee of the Untied States and Canada rule (for boys'/girls' high school and men's college) that if A1's Throw-in pass (along the End Line) was first touched by either A2 or B2, who were standing (along a Side Line) with one foot (or both feet) out-of-bounds, A1 had committed a Throw-in Violation for not passing the Ball to a Player on the Court. I do not remember when the rule was changed to what is now in the rules.
2) When I started officiate women's college basketball in 1974, the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports rule (for women's college in the U.S., and also girls' high school in some places of the U.S.) that if A1's Throw-in pass (along the End Line) was first touched by either A2 or B2, who were standing (along a Side Line) with one foot (or both feet) out-of-bounds, A2 or B2 had committed an Out-of Bounds Violation.
