I think it was that way much less than 20 years ago. I started officiating in '93 and we still did it that way. That's only 13 seasons ago.

That was part of the "box/reverse box" system, where if the throw-in was on the wrong side of the basket, you had the Trail rotate across the floor in the middle of play to get back to the "box" positions.
