1. With the player being out at about the 3 point line, there's nothing wrong with an official administering the free throw from inside.

2. NBA mechanics is to sound the whistle on all throw-ins on the baseline in the frontcourt and all frontcourt throw-ins on the sideline below the FT line extended.

3. NBA manual doesn't mandate how an official should give the ball to a player. I also don't buy that a player could break a finger as a legit reason to not do what Mauer does to administer.
