Scrappy pretty much said what I was going to say. I do not have much to add to his points. I would also say that many times the official on the inside end up in the lane and also lose the angle on plays that might quickly go to the basket off the throw-in. I just think when you are outside you are in a familiar position and you will not have to move very much to stay in good position if you start on the outside. Once again this for me is an option and I never take a player to the outside and I stay in the inside. Then again I have much experience with both mechanics and drew much of that conclusion on my own. Later I was told that you do not need to go inside except for when the ball is around the 3 point line on the baseline.
