The status of the ball also doesn’t matter one bit.
In fact, all throw-ins are from out of bounds locations adjacent to either the frontcourt or backcourt without the ball having either status. Under the new rule ANY throw-in violation must now result in the ensuing throw-in going to one of the eight spots. The only way to remain where the throw-in occurred is if it already happened to be at one of those eight spots.
People can reasonably make the case for moving to the 28’ line in either the frontcourt or the backcourt, but we simply cannot remain at the division line.

Agreed. What if there's a T or I in the middle of a quarter, followed by the throw-in violation? Are they leaving that throw-in at the division line?
You *could* have a rule to the effect that any violation during a throw-in result on a throw-in at the original spot (and not at one of the 8 designated spots) -- just the same as a TO during the throw-in does not result in moving the throw-in spot, but that's not the current rule.
