With the huge number of rules and their penalties simpler is better.

You may not believe it, but I believe that being able to say "it was a tech, therefore the ball is at mid-court" is simpler.

If the rule was or is changed to "the POI is where the throw-in will be," then I'd learn it and that would be that. But at this point why change it for such a rare occasion?

The answer to the coach when asked why the rule is like that is simply "you know what? I don't know." And it's not your job to know, either. If that coach is so concerned then let him/her go to the NFHS or whoever.
