Throw in after TO

After the timeout the offensive team now asks for a different throwin location.

Is that fair to the defensive team?

Mechanics teach us to always stand with the ball at the after timeout throwin location, there's a reason for this mechanic, so that both teams know where the ball will be administered to the inbounder.

We've discussed this before. Can anybody find it?



My opinion. Officials should stay in the same positions as before the timeout, but it's just my opinion, don't have a rule, or caseplay to back it up.



I'm not a big fan of bouncing the ball across the lane, never allowed by IAABO mechanics.

The answer to the coach should be “along the end line” or “they have the entire end line, coach.”
