From what designated spot is Team B awarded the ball for a throw-in?

a) The original throw-in spot.
b) Where A2 touched the ball

NCAAW and Fed answers, please (and, sure -- NCAAM). This is from a recent NCAAW quiz, and maybe I've been doing it wrong all this time.

In ancient times, this may have once been considered a throwin violation and go back to the original spot.

In fact, even if it was B1 that touched the ball and boundary in this manner, it might have still been considered a throwin violation by Team A, with Team B getting the ball back at the original throwin spot.

Why? For not throwing the ball directly onto the court.

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: Am I correct about these ancient times interpretations?

A few years back the NFHS changed this Situation from a Throw-in Violation to an Out-of-Bounds Violation. When the NFHS changed it to an OOB Violation it was changing the Rule back to what it had been for decades and decades before it changed it from an OOB Violation to a Throw-in Violation.

Per NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's Rules: The Situation described in the NCAA Women's Exam should be an Out-of-Bounds Violation.

Back to you Bob!
