I don't have my officials manual with me, but I'm quite certain that you are allowed to bounce the ball to the thrower along the baseline in the backcourt . Doing so, allows you a wider view and lets you observe a lot more than being closer to the thrower. Note however that there are no examples that show the referee bouncing the ball across the key.
