I have the Thrower straddle the Division Line extended and before handing him or her the ball, I tell him or her to click his or her heels together three times and say: "There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home." :D And I think of Mom every time, :).

Throwin:

E. Throwin administration
1. Administering official shall visually "sweep the floor"
h. hand or bounce ball to thrower
Exception: on all frontcourt endline throwins the ball shall be handed to the thrower

G. Crew of two throwin
1. Administering official may hand ball to throwerin
2. Administering official may bounce the ball to throwerin
Exception: Ball handed to throwerin for frontcourt endline throwins
3. Lead as administering official
c. may bounce ball to thrower for sideline throwin below free throw line extended
Exception: if fans or bench personnel create congestion or there is defensive pressure, the ball shale be handed to the throwerin ...

And as everybody can see, IAABO, NFHS, and NCAA Men's/Women's mechanics are the same.

If they're within a foot or so of the division line, off we go. I don't care if they're slightly in the frontcourt, straddling, or slightly in the backcourt.

So, if you observed me over 100 throwins, you might get those statistics just from me.

Alas, this seems like each refs preference on what to do.
If the clinician tells you to do it, do it during the clinic and for any games where he or she has any control over your schedule. Now that I've stated the obvious.

I honestly can't remember a player above grade school fumbling a throw-in bounce from me. If they're not paying attention to the point where they are going to fumble a soft bounce pass, they're nearly as likely to fumble the hand-off.

Exactly. I only move them if they're clearly out of throw in spot.
