Lead stays at lead and administers from endline with a bounce. If designated spot is above free-throw line extended, old lead switches up to new trail on that sideline and administers with (usually) a bounce. I see a lot of trails who are (probably) not aware of this Fed mechanic and immediately run across the court to take this throw-in. (And in my association, we use Fed mechanics.)
