Rule 9-2-2: The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court from out-of-bounds so it touches or is touched by another player on the court before going out of bounds untouched.

Rule 9-2 PENALTY: The ball becomes dead when the violation...occurs. ...the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation.

Since the violation is the error of the thrower, the administration of the subsequent throw in would be at the designated spot nearest where the thrower inner attempted to make the throw in, unless between the lane lines extended in which case it would be at a location outside the nearest lane line extended.

Sound correct?
