It's actually very simple, much more so than many officials make it, and you seem to have it.

The timeout is reported by whoever grants it. If necessesary, throw the ball to the partner to hold during the report.

Immediately after the report, the official that will administer the throw-in/FT will go the the spot. The other official goes to the division line. At the first horn, the one on the division line notifies the team and heads to his/her position.

Many people like to have the non-calling official mark the spot until the first horn and switch back then if necessary. That is not the correct procedure and creates a lot of unnecessary switching. While the ball is being reported, it is not necessary for the non-calling official to take the ball to the spot unless it will be administered by that official.

To address your cases:

1. You are correct.

2. Correct, IF the sideline that it will be on was the one covered by the trail. If that sideline was the leads, then the trail will report and go to the division line and the lead will go to the spot.

3. Correct. (or is it the blocks??).
