I've always found it much easier just to simply accept what the rules say rather than going through this mind-numbing exercise of paralysis through analysis. Iow, just read NFHS rule 9-4 on a deliberately kicked ball and the accompanying penalty for it. And then apply it to rule 4-42-5 for an AP throw-in.

But that's just me......
