From my scanning quickly through the rulebook it seems the term "nearest point" comes up alot, what if they are equally near to both?
I kind of feel silly asking such a simple question, but you guys have always been so kind in the past.
Thanks in advance

To give you the simple answer. on a court diagrame draw a line from the edge line of the freethrow and draw it to the corner where the baseline meets the sideline. Dd this on both sides. If the ball goes out ect, in this trapaziod bring it directly down to the baseline so it is at the baseling at the spot where it occured, if it is outside the trapaziod we go to the side again at the spot of the violation ect.
Hope this helps
