The last statement makes it very clear that there is no switch on a timeout except for that one case. So, if the lead calls a timeout (where the throw-in will be on the endline) and goes to report, do you still assert that it may be possible that trail will go to the spot and administer the throw in? If they do, they've just switched on a dead ball...contrary to my last cite?

Yup, and what about
foul situations? Why exactly is there a switch on one case and not others? If the lead calls a TO after making a foul call entailing FT's, why do the officials switch instead of following your proposed mechanic?
You'll find "timeouts" on page 44 in the Officials Manual. Note that "timeouts" is in a completely
different section than anything that you have cited above. Note that
nowhere under
"timeouts" can you find any definitive mechanic listed similar to what you are claiming. Soooooo, cite me something
definitive re: timeouts.
I don't have to
prove anything. I'm not the one that is making any claims that my mechanic is right and someone else's mechanic is wrong. That would be you. And I hate to say it, but you still not have
definitively proven anything about
timeout mechanics. As I said, you
may be right. You
may be wrong.
Please let me know when you find something
definitive re:
timeouts. Right now, we're going in circles.
Btw, let the record show that personally I could really care less if 2 different officials handle this particular situation differently. It definitely ain't a biggie in the wondrous world of officiating.
