Doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it, but it's not really going to affect the game.
Team A up 59-58 with 9 seconds remaining in the game, 5 on the shot clock. The ball is tipped deep into the backcourt where A1 retrieves & throws an airball. Coach B is lobbying for a throw-in where the shot left from, coach A goes nuts as he thinks it should be a b/c endline throw-in.
4 seconds left in a good game & the officials seem confused & unsure. EOG situation, I could see an incorrect throw-in spot costing someone a few games. Not a good look...



An incorrect throw-in spot for shot clock violations could be an issue in the last 2 minutes of a highly competitive ballgame as well.
