Yes, that's correct. And in fact, that has been true for the last two years. The positions were changed in the last FED manual.
In MA, we have disregarded this change and continue to have one official at midcourt and one official at the spot of the throw-in.

Definitely the smart way to do it. This mechanic is ludicrous (spelled as an adjective, not a proper noun!). When it's my turn to be God, things are going to be different

I will have to disagree- I have refereed both ways and use NBA way as well ( I prefer NBA where refs face each other and ball is put down where it will be inbounded) but for game management- notifications etc, the current way is better
