Generally not.

There are two options (two-person): 1) Officials return to their prior spots (just as if a violation had occurred instead of a TO)

2) Calling official becomes off-ball; non-calling official administers the throw-in.

Neither is inherently "better"; the FED has chosen the former; many states / associations / officials choose the latter.
