Let's get a little more specific:
A player has the ability to "run the baseline," throw the ball in from anywhere along the baseline, or make a pass to another team player out of bounds along the baseline if the other team has scored or been credited with a score by rule (i.e. goaltending/basket interference). The 5 second rule still applies.
Every other throw in is what is called a designated spot throw in where the player can't really move (usually not more than a step in either direction). These include all throw ins that are not directly after a made or credited basket and obviously throw ins that are not on the baseline.
Is the signal for designated spot throw in violations still two "finger points", for lack of a better description?
