Trail official point's @ the Iowa HC & gives the ball back to Michigan I assume because there was a chance that the Michigan player could've saved the ball but couldn't because it was caught by the Iowa HC.

Anybody else catch this play?

I saw the play. I believe he gave the HC a delay warning, and then gave the ball back to Michigan.

Is there ANY rule in NFHS or NCAA which states players, fans, or coaches MUST not touch a ball that has passed over the OOB boundary line?

No there is not. The only call other than OOB which could be supported by rule is an unsporting technical foul on the HC and that falls under the discretion of the official.
