In both Plays, the attempt is canceled because of the Violation. By having the ensuing Throw-in taken on the Sideline rather than the End Line (if that would have been the closet spot to the Violation) indicates that it was a Dead Ball that went through the basket and the score does not count.

MTDSr:
I finally got my rule/casebook set yesterday, so I was eager to go through to review the changes and this discussion item for myself.
Although Play 2 is covered by the revised case 9.12.B, Play 1 is covered by case 7.5.2.A (item a) where the ruling is to award the throw-in
at the nearest spot. This implies that if the traveling violation occurs in the so-called "rocket-ship," the throw-in spot would be on the baseline and
not the sideline at the FTLE.
Does this mean we only use the sideline FTLE for a final free throw attempt nullified by violation and nothing else?
