Question

A thrower-in hands the ball to a teammate. Both are touching it at the same time. I know the ball goes to the opponent but...
Where in the NFHS rules does it state this rule at the throw-in or at anytime during the game that two teammates cannot have the ball at the same time?

Thank you.

I don't have a NFHS rulebook, but NCAA rule 9-5e says that a thrower-in shall not "[c]arry or hand the ball to a teammate who is on the playing court."

It's a throw-in pass, not a handoff.

7-6-1
The throw-in starts when the ball is at the disposal of a player of the team entitled to the throw-in. The thrower shall release the ball on a pass directly into the court, except as in 7-5-7, within five seconds after the throw-in starts. The throw-in pass shall touch another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched. The throw-in pass shall not touch a teammate while it is on the out-of-bounds side of the throw-in boundary plane.

There is nothing in the rules that prevents two players from holding the ball while on the floor. I think that was your question...

As long as neither player violates a travel provision it is perfectly legal

Better re-read the post, Kelvin.

"A thrower-in hands the ball to a teammate."

Handing the ball to a teammate inbounds during a throw-in is not allowed.

7.6.3 Situation B: During an attempted throw-in, A1: (a) holds the ball through the plane of the end line and then passes it; (b) steps through the plane (makes contact with the floor inbounds) before passing the ball to A2; or (c) holds the ball through the plane and hands it to A2. RULING: A legal throw-in in (a), but a throw-in violation in (b) and (c).

While the ball is already inbounds it may be jointly controlled by teammates.

4.43.2 Situation B: Airborne A1 and A2 jointly grab the rebound and each alights simultaneously on both feet. A1 and A2 each move one foot in attempting to wrestle the ball from each other before realizing they are teammates. A1 lets go and A2 dribbles away. RULING: Legal. There has been no violation as neither A1 or A2 moved their pivot foot while they were in joint control.
