NFHS...help-last one.

I can't see any way for that to be true.

It could run out if there is a rule about running the clock if either team is up by 25+ points. However, there might be that adopted rule in rec leagues, it's not a rule in high school. The answer is false

Ignoring any kind of mercy rule that might be in effect...

"It is possible for time to expire during the throw-in following a successful free throw"

The clock is stopped during the free throw. The questions you have to answer are:
1. When does the clock start? 2. When does the throw-in end?

You already answered question 1. The answer to question 2 is:

NFHS 4-42 THROW-IN, THROWER, DESIGNATED SPOT
ART. 5 . . . The throw-in ends when:
a. The passed ball touches or is legally touched by another player inbounds.
b. The passed ball touches or is touched by another player out of bounds, except as in 7-5-7.
c. The throw-in team commits a throw-in violation.

So...if the clock doesn't start until it touches, or is legally touched by, a player on the court, and the throw-in ends at that same instant, I don't see how it's possible for time to expire during a throw-in. (Except at a couple of schools here where you have to keep your eye on the clock )
