They are using three officials and I realize mechanics have changed a lot for the better since then, like rotations and such, but some of these things really just make me scratch my head...
- Sideline throw-in table side. T administers throw-in. C is behind the trail vertically. Looks really strange with 2 guys on the same sideline and the guy on the other sideline isn't between them (or even close).
- Similar scenario -- frontcourt sideline throw-in opposite. C administers. L comes across ball-side. T still remains behind the C.

Up until about 3 (or 4?) years ago, C would be "temporary T" if T needed to be below about the 28' mark to administer the throw-in. This way, if the ball was inbounded into the backcourt, or stolen for a fast-break, someone would be able to cover.
