Do you blow your whistle prior to handing the ball to A for the throw-in under A's basket only? Below the free-throw line extended? In the A's frontcourt only? What criteria do you use?
NFHS officials manual 3.2.2 A10 "The administering official shall sound the whistle to indicate play is about to begin only following a charged time-out, an intermission or an unusual delay."

I disagree.
