Might be better if she talks to her coach at practice. If this official is at another game, the coach, when asked if there are any questions, which there almost never are, can ask about how this situation will be handled. There are two responses, one would be from the official himself who states incorrectly how that situation will be handled, and one from the other official who hopefully knows the rule. If the incorrect answer is stood by, then play by how it will be called and the coach can get to the assignors via the AD as to how the OOB throw-in is being mis-applied and can give the specific game nights.

What not to do is to hand the official the case-play during the pre-game conference.
