After a violation, the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throwin from an out of bounds spot nearest the violation. This is especially true for a backcourt violation, where the ball may not necessarily be put in play at the division line, but, rather, is always put back in play at the spot nearest the violation.

Billy, it seems you're simply trying to correct the misconception about the spot of backcourt violation. If that's your myth, then you're correction is much simpler. The rest of that stuff isn't really correcting a myth.
