Thoughts, comments, please.

I had the same situation about 15 years ago in a BV game. I was the new L on a backcourt inbounds play after a time out. A1 left the designated spot along the end line and I came in and called the violation when the new T brain locked and the C didn't pick it up, either. I felt awkward for a moment coming in from 50 feet away but the three of us had gotten together during the TO (it was late in the game) and reminded each other that it was a spot throw-in. I would've felt worse letting the play continue.
