And to add my reply from that thread, I don't have a different opinion of the rule based on the bench on which I sit. I favor granting the TO as well. I would expect it if I request it, and certainly not gripe if it was granted and we have yet to get the ball OOB for the throw-in. I believe that is the spirit of the rule and the way it is normally enforced.
Other experiences and opinions may differ - fire at will
