Okay, so...
Here I am at the endline, kid blocked into the corner by two defenders, my count is at 4.5, kid calls a timeout. Partner is at about the top of the key. I bounce the ball to the partner, jog to reporting area, report, and then what? What does partner do while he holds ball? Who goes to the division line, close to the table for 30, away from table for 60?
Note to NFHS--
Can we keep this the same for a year or two so that we can start to feel like we know what we're doing?!?!

By the official 2-person mechanics:
Officials go back to where the were before the throw. Treat is just as if a violation had been called on the defending team, instead of a TO.
So, whoever grants the TO, reports it. Whoever will handle the throw-in stands at the spot with the ball. Whoever will not handle the throw-in stands at the division line. There is no correlation between reporting the TO and where an official stands.
A better way (IMHO):
Whoever grants the TO reports it and stays at the division line. THe other official gets the ball and stands at the throw-in spot and administers the throw-in.
Answers to Juulie's specific situation:
By the book -- you report the TO, then return to the corner and hold the ball for the throw-in. Your partner goes to the division line.
My way -- you report the TO and stay at the division line. Your partner retrieves the ball ad goes to the corner for the throw-in.
