Rule 2-3 (elastic powers rule) would be used to justify the "do over" and I thought Ron handled it correctly. I'm not penalizing a team who without me striking the ball, would have made an otherwise legal throw-in.
Here is a case play where an official is hit on a throw-in:
354. Following a successful field goal by Team B, Player A1 attempts to pass to Player A2, who is also out-of-bounds. The ball hits an official, who is also out-of-bounds. What is the ruling?
The official will stop play and award the ball back to Team A for another throw-in attempt, with the option of running the baseline. The official shall be aware of this situation when a pressing defense exists, following a successful field goal/free throw.
RULE 2 - SECTION III
RULE 8 - SECTION III - c
