First of all, thank you for the explanation AremRed. That made sense of everything for me -- much appreciated.
Frezer, I'm with you. Duke was absolutely told the inbounds spot would be from endline hashmark, as was the broadcast team. The only people in America who did not appear to have been told (besides the fans in the arena) were the MSU bench. Izzo's reaction made that plain enough.
They have Izzo alone to thank for (ultimately) getting it right.
