Even during the couple of years in the recent past when the NFHS editors screwed up the penalty for this throw-in situation what you write was not true.
The fact is that the ball was still awarded back to the throwing team, but with the difference that the location was at the spot of the original throw-in instead of the OOB touching. Of course, that has now been fixed.
