Both NCAA men (7-4-6b) and NFHS (7-5-7) rules allow the privilege of passing to a teammate out of bounds after a score. I can find no rule or case citation that indicates that the privilege is not granted if both players are out of bounds before the start of the throw in and during the throw-in.

Any clarifications or citations?

The clarification is that your partner is incorrect.

Surprised that a college official would miss this.

Some college officials don't find the rule book of much use after they have "made it".
