Both the NCAA and NFHS rule books says that (in most situations) throw-ins occur "at the spot nearest where the violation occurs". Of course, this excludes situations where the throw-in will be at the division line like double fouls, technical fouls (for HS), etc.
This may seem like a small point, but the ball is put into play at the closest spot after double fouls, not at midcourt. That's only for technical fouls (in FED, as you said).

How about for violations and fouls that occur close to the end line, specifically from the free-throw line extended to the endline? Should the throw-in be from the sideline or the endline?
There is a diagram in the FED Officials' Manual. If you don't have the manual, then imagine an straight line that goes diagonally from one end of the FT line to the nearest corner of the court. Now imagine an identical line starting from the other end of the FT line and going to the other corner of the court.

Anything inside the FT circle or inside those diagonal lines is put in play on the endline. Anything outside that area is put in play on the sideline. Notice that there is a little area that is outside the diagonal lines but still inside the the 3-point arc; so you can have a foul inside the 3-point arc, but still put it in play on the sideline.

And yes, of course, we believe that the players in your rec league were questioning this.
