Really??? Well, I've personally heard one of the Big Ten officials you list as someone you consider a very good official say it in camps he runs and in the preseason clinics he holds for the officials who work for him. I've heard plenty of officials, including D1 officials I have personally worked with, talk about putting the ball in play at the correct throw-in spot. I have never heard any official say to put the ball in play at an arbitrary spot somewhere near where the ball went OOB.
