No contest, near the violation. Since 3 seconds is inside the lanes, the endline is the nearest spot.
Larry, if you re-read Larks' post, the end line is exactly where he said the ball should go. His point was that when you had a choice of designating the spot throw-in on the end line- i.e. on either side of a lane line extended-, you should pick the side that you are already on(as lead). That saves forcing your partner(s) into making a meaningless switch. Good point by Larks.
