Which Side of the Lane Line?

I am going to assume that we deal with real basketball compared to where you live. Those kind of antics would get you ridiculed here. We are a real basketball state with real basketball players. The most things we have to deal with is someone wearing the wrong color for their sleeves. It has nothing to do with tunnel vision, it has to do with what real basketball players and coaches would stand for. Gloves?? This is not football or baseball.

Just because it's infrequent doesn't automatically mean that the NFHS is unwilling to deal with the issue.

OK and none of this has anything to do with where we put the ball on a throw-in.

And you have a reading problem, I did not say the NF should not or would not address this, but they haven't at this point or we would not be talking about this in complete hypotheticals. And the NF or even my state has not addressed this IMO because it has not been an issue obviously. IF it was an issue, I am sure it would be addressed. Maybe one day they will address this, but I cannot see why. Again I think a good coach does not need the ball to be on one side of the lane to coach his/her throw-in set. Just like they do when the ball is on the other side of the court and the direction is different. What are coaches going to do when they do not have the right to "run the end line?" What are they going to do when it is a spot throw-in? I have never seen a good coach had difficulty teaching something this simple.
