Nope, any location desired by the team is okay.

Not worry about such a complaint because BY RULE the offense can go anywhere along the endline they wish. The defense needs to be prepared to defend the throw-in from any and all such locations.

In those areas the administering official needs to move. Hopefully that isn't a physical challenge to the officiating crew.

In this instance you should. The player has every right to throw the ball from there under these circumstances. Nothing in the book states that he can't start there too!
