7-5-3 seems to offer a conclusive answer:
"Designated OOB spot throw-in nearest to where the ball became dead...".
The ball became dead directly above the basket. Therefore, it would be on the endline just outside either lane line extended.
"Which side of the basket?" We've discussed that before. Here's the thread, in case anyone wants to review all 8 pages of responses: https://forum.officiating.com/basket...lane-line.html
Might be nice to hear a fresh debate on the topic.
