FIBA Official Interpretations 2008; article 17, statement 4
Quote:
There are additional situations to those listed in Art. 17.2.3 in which the subsequent throw-in shall be taken from the centre line extended, opposite the scorer’s table:
(a) A player making the throw-in from the centre line extended opposite the scorer’s table commits a violation and the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in at the place of the original throw-in.
(b) … (fighting) …
Interpretation: In all the above situations the thrower-in can pass the ball to either the frontcourt or the backcourt.
