Just picking a nit...

Hey Battery, I did a H.S. game where the "throw in" was from inbounds. The wall was nearly the out of bounds line so there was a dotted line area to inbound the ball that the defense had to stand behind and the inbounder was inbounds. Other than that...I'm thinking you are probably right.

You live in Connecticut?

1988 . . . throw-in count ends on release of ball . . . reference: 2012-14 NFHS Basketball Handbook Part One, p. 16

At this point the rule is satisfied...correct? There is no requirement for anyone to touch it within the 5 second count..right? Which is why it's legal to roll it in and nobody sometimes touches it for 7-10 seconds. So if it is in the backcourt
the 10 second count also starts when there is a touch on the court and not before? The game clock always starts on the touch inbounds. All accurate?

Not quite. The 10 second backcourt count starts when player/team control is established in bounds in the backcourt. IOW, the player has to do more than touch it. (NFHS, I believe that's different in the NCAA)

In that case, the OOB line has temporarily moved. The T-I is still out of bounds, though.

I think it's obvious I didn't.
