Why should the Trail have to go down there to administer the throw-in when the Lead is 3 feet away? So, yes, maybe it's just to make things simpler. Has nothing to do with whether or not a person should have to hustle back to the 28' line.

I wasn't addressing college mechanics, pretty sure the 'OHSAA' in the OP is a high school association. I'm well aware of the college and NBA mechanics and their "makes things easier" benefit, my point was that mechanic does not lead to more correct calls and thus is not as important as other mechanics tweaks.
