I can’t find any material on this. I’m wondering if say Situation #1: the play is an alley-oop with three seconds left and the throw-in is from the sideline. Clock starts without anyone touching it and the only thing that happens is that the ball bounces off the backboard untouched and then bounces out of bounds on the end line. Where would the play be resumed from?

Or another play would be Situation #2: the ball is rolled in from the end line in the backcourt. The ball rolls into the front court and then you find out the clock started prematurely. Where would the throw-in be located?

The are no "do overs" in NFHS and NCAA Men's/Women's Basketball therefore there are no "do overs" in either Throw-in situation that you have presented.

Situation #1: Assuming that it was Team A that had the Ball for a Throw-in. Team A has committed a Throw-in Violation.
The Ball is put back into Play with Team B being awarded a Designated Spot Throw-in at the Spot of Team A's Throw-in on the End Line in its Back Court where the Ball went Out of Bounds. The Game Clock is reset to 0:03.0 because per Rule that is the only Definite Time known by the Game Officials.

Situation #2: Assuming that it was Team A that had the Ball for a Throw-in. The Ball is put back into Play with Team A being awarded a Designated Spot Throw-in in its Front Court on the Boundary Line nearest where the Ball was when the Game Officials stopped play. The Game Clock is reset to 0:03.0 because per Rule that is the only Definite Time known by the Game Officials.

See the Thread in the Forum that has previously these Situations: https://forum.officiating.com/basket...onds-left.html

Author's editing at Dec. 15/Fri.(12:22amEST), 2023: In Situation #1: Additions are Green and deletions are Red.
