Sorry tony, but TH and the others are right. If the violation occurs in the free throw circle then the throw-in is made from the baseline. No ifs, ands, or judgments. Check out Page 21 of your "2001-2003 NFHS Basketball Officials Manual". It's clearly indicated there. You don't get to choose where the ball gets put into play.
