The original, original thinking allowed the ball the be thrown in, after a technical foul, on either side of the division line. I don't remember if it was the decision of the official, captain, or coach. Ask Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. He helped Dr. Naismith make up the original rules. I believe that the rule changed about twenty-years ago. You can ask Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. about that also.
