Which Side of the Lane Line?

Do you let them stand in the lane for a throw-in? I don't.

Peace

Not on a spot throw. However the rulebook says ..."A throw in anywhere along the endline". How can we prohibit what the rules expressly allow?

Good point. Are there differences between a throwin, and an indicated (an IAABO term) throwin spot (not designated)? Even on a run the endline throwin we have to start off somewhere, we can't be running along the endline with the player until we put the ball at his disposal.

Exactly. And why shouldn't the player choose that spot?

He can. Officials, not players, are authorized to indicate (IAABO term) a spot. After that, on a run the endline throwin, the player can choose to make the throwin from anywhere along the endline, even in the middle of the lane (even though I would never hand the ball to him there).

Checkout my title: Is A Throwin The Same As A Throwin Spot ??? Note that it's in the form of a question, just like on Jeopardy.

Do you only pick one of the two spots where there are arrows on the sideline?

By the way, I'm not advocating for giving the ball to someone standing in the middle of the lane, but I don't think this diagram would be the reason why.

This is a better diagram. You do not put the ball in the lane according to the beloved manual.

Thanks for taking the time to scan the page from the manual. We would have believed you if you just quoted the manual.

"Beloved"? Get a room.

Touché.

(My high school French teacher, Mrs. Schliffer, would be so proud of me. I even remembered to add the accent aigu.)

That diagram has little to do with what kind of throw-in takes place. You could have a violation or a foul that would allow you to "run" if the right violation/foul took place and put the ball back to the end line. That diagram just is for where we throw in the ball. Nothing about what type has to be executed. But most throw-ins anyway will be a spot throw-in regardless of this chart.

I know this, but I never hand the ball with the player in the lane. I have always been told you give the ball to them on one side of the lane (that is the mechanic too if I am not mistaken).
