To Bob Jenkins and Jurrassic referee,
I understand what you are saying however the person saying you can't retain what you don't have simply does not explain how the rule is written.
Retain means to keep. Priviledge is a special circumstance given for a specific reason. You can run the baseline after a made basket. THAT IS THE PRIVELEDGE. The book says and I quote "A team retains this priveledge if the scoring team commits a violation or foul and the ensuing throw-in spot would be on the end line.
Instead of explaining what is not written please explain the meaning of what is written. What priveledge does the throw-in team retain. There must be something otherwise they wouldn't state " A team retains this priveledge. Also why would they make specific reference to the throw in spot still being on the end line.
If your case is correct why wouldn't they just say if a violation or foul occurs there will be a designated throw in spot. Instead they make specific reference to a team retaining some sort of priveledge if a violation or foul occurs and the ensuing throw-in spot is on the endline.
I totally understand everything you say and I agree if you take this rule as it is written it doesn't make sense. However I can't totally disregard the verbiage such as "retains the priveledge" and something happens if the ensuing throw-in is on the endline.
