Women's game Canada and Cuba.
Canada's ball for a front court, endline throw-in.
Ca1 saw Cu1 facing another player, away from Ca1, about 6' off the endline. Ca1 threw the ball off Cu1's glutius maximus, ran in-bounds, retreived the ball on the first bounce, and started to elevate for an 8' jumper when the whistle blew.
There was no explanation of why the whistle blew by the Canadian announcers, who are typically better-versed in sports that are very cold. Maybe something happened off-ball.
Is that thrown-in legal, or illegal, when the trapezoidal free-throw lane is used?

Thanks for the reminder, mick. I've saying to myself for years that I wanna visit Detroit where the church bell rang 29 times.
Do you happen to know who or where the official was/from? An Ontario FIBA official is at those games. However, if the whistle was indeed called for an illegal throw-in not because the player still had OOB status, I can't believe that my friend would kick that call.
