Yeah my opening sentence is misleading. I know why it is different, I know where NFHS says it is different I am just wondering aloud...not necessarily right by any means...why it can't be the same for ease of application.

I had both situations happen in the same game the other night...explaining the difference to a coach in a heated 2 point conference game is not the easiest...come on NFHS, work with me here!

Once the ball is inbounds, the offense has a choice of from where to throw the ball, so the requirements are stronger than on a throw-in where they don't get the choice.
