Up till a few years ago, it was "lazy" for the Lead to administer a throw-in on his/her sideline below the FT line. We were supposed to switch. Well, now that lazy practice is the approved mechanic.
Bouncing across the lane is not about being lazy. It's just about what is accepted and approved. NBA officials bounce the ball across the lane; and I'm real sure those guys (as well as Ms. Palmer) are not lazy.
In your HS and NCAAM games, don't bounce across the lane. Do it according to the accepted mechanic. But don't be surprised if the accepted mechanic changes someday and you become lazy
