If ball is below FT line extended it is Lead, above FT line extended it is trail. I dont think you need to avoid inbounds from sideline near baseline. NF changed mechanics even to accomodate this better the last couple of years.

I believe you're mistaken. The official NF mechanic is for the trail to administer all throw-ins on the sideline, no matter how deep in the corner it may be. As rpwall stated, that's the purpose of the bounce pass. Position the thrower, back out, and bounce the ball to him.

Actually, the NF does allow for the lead to bounce the ball up the sideline for a throw-in below the FT line extended. It is not, however, required. It is left to the discretion of the officials based on the game. Also, if the call was on the trail's line, the trail would administer the throw-in. The purpose of this rules is to keep the trail/lead essentially performing a switch on an OOB sitution deep on the lead's line.
