I pointed this out in a thread last month.

My answer to your question is that since the division line is considered to be part of the backcourt for both teams, the ensuing throw-in for Team B will come from the 28-foot line in the backcourt opposite the table.

The State of Missouri has a different interpretation. This came out Nov 12th

'Good afternoon. All of you are aware of the throw in spot locations that has changed a little from last year. Spots are now defined in both the front court and the back court using the 3 point arc. We are using the baseline locations when the foul or violation occurs inside the 3 point arc and the 28 foot mark on the sideline when the foul or violation takes place outside the 3 point arc. This is in both the front court and the back court.

There is a scenario that has brought about a lot of discussion between myself and the other rules interpreters across the state. After a conversation with Kenny Seifert of MSHSAA, there is a clarification that I want to share with all of you.

Team A has a throw in at the division line to start the second quarter. Team A is called for a 5 second throw in violation. Where does team B get the throw in?

Response: If team A commits a five second violation on the inbound at the start of the quarter, team B gets possession and takes the ball out of bounds at the nearest spot to the violation. This is a loss of possession for team A and the possession is awarded to team B at the previous out of bounds spot where the violation occurred. Since the quarter has not started with a live ball inbounds, we have not established any status, front court or back court. Therefore, the ball is taken out where it originated from, which is at the mid court line opposite the table.'

Hope this clarification helps.
