The situation cited above is, BTW, why it's important to train officials never to casually leave the endline prior to the actual release of the inbounds pass. This habit, if engrained by casuality or indifference, will carry over to that rare when the need to observe these kinds of plays and violations. The fallback to guessing will kick a guy in the butt. Therefore, trail--be trail. Don't leave that endline early on a throw-in.

Let's be real, this will only happen if there is full court pressure. In the absence of full court pressure this isn't an issue and I can assume most of us will leave the endline when we see fit to leave the endline. In most cases it will be early.
If there is full court pressure why in the heck would you be running out ahead of the ball?
