Quarter Throw-in Spot

I'm so used to doing it the old way that, as the lead, in a two person game, I will hesitate to bounce the ball to an inbounder on a sideline throwin below the free throw line extended.

I doubt that there is anyone on this Forum that bounces the ball less than me. I know that I'm in the minority, and I probably should be bouncing more, but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

All frontcourt endline throwins must be handed to the inbounder.

All other throwins are optional, it's up to the official to decide whether to hand the ball, or bounce the ball, to the inbounder, depending on the circumstances.
