a) ball comes up short. Violation. Ball inbounded by opponents sideline near 28' mark.

b) ball is shot long, caroms off of backboard after shot clock horn sounded, but before official determined that it did not have a chance to go in. Violation. Ball inbounded by opponents on end line near the basket.

Correct?

The NCAA rules say that the ball is inbounded nearest where the violation occurs -- that might not be (and isn't in your examples) the same as the "ball location."

CIF rules might differ.
