An official should take the inbound play on the line for which you are responsible. And if the throw-in is below the free throw line extended, the officials may need to switch.
I don't have a new book with me, but in the 2001-2003 NFHS Official's Manual, Diagram 22 explains this.
2-man: Ball out-of-bounds on the trail's sideline below the free throw line - Trail should move to the endline and become the new Lead while the Lead moves out onto the court and becomes the new Trail.

DownTownTonyBrown,
The Lead should go above the Free-throw line extended and force a switch (per Diagram 24), but the Trail is not required to drop down to force a switch (per Diagram 22).
Although, of course, Trail may force the switch, but there isn't any mechanic to suggest it, ...I think.
