I had a traveling call last night. The travel happened on the left side of the free throw lane, about 3/4's way up from the end-line toward the free throw line. After I called traveling, there was a time out called. Before my partner reported the time out, he pointed to the end-line as the throw-in spot. After he reported it, I pointed to a place on the side-line where I would inbound it. He shook his head in agreement and we went on. (By the way, no coach ever asked where we were going to inbound the ball. Had they asked, I would have gone with his initial spot.) During our post game, he commented on my choice of inbound spots, saying he liked it. Since we were going from back court to front court, I saw no reason to go to the end-line to inbounds the ball. I have seen more experienced officials do the same thing I did. What do you say?
