I can't think of a reason I've ever been on the court when administering a throw-in.

I've never had an issue with it closing off angles. Only makes it easier.

If you are on the court, then how does the player throw the ball in that direction? What if the offense has an inbounds play where one of the players runs along the sideline?

I'm still waiting for a good reason to be on the court during a throw-in.

Some will do it when there's no pressure, and will be in proper position when the defense is actually in the play. I can't imagine Rich is ever in bounds when the defense is actively involved in playing the throw in.

Are we talking about sideline throw-ins or endline throw-ins?

Guess it doesn't really matter. I hate when I find myself creeping onto the court after a made basket. Bad habit I'm constantly working on breaking.

Backcourt, no pressure. Endline or sideline if it's deep enough.

And I agree.

Double hijack ...

A reminder, if a player, when dribbling the basketball, touches an official who is standing out of bounds, that is not an out of bounds violation.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Sideline, where I'm bouncing the ball when there's no pressure.

I've done pretty well staying off the court on the end line until the ball is advancing up the court.

Not geometrically possible.
