Big Cat's response is excellent, and I'm certain that the stated differences, and the situation in the B) answer will help someone in the upcoming season.
I constantly invite officials to check out the threads on this site. The wide ranging experience and knowledge, here, is priceless.

Case Book 4.3.3, 4.42.5, 6.4.1 Sit. A, 6.4.5 Sit. A, are of note in the discussion.

6.4.5 Sit. B concerns the the situation of the thrower holding the ball through the end-line or side-line plane.

I don't think this is a scenario we need to burden a first year official with. There's enough to learn before we start discussing plays they might, maybe, possibly see once in their entire careers.
