inadvertent Whistle
 

Both teams are in the Bonus and Team B has the Alternate Possession Arrow.
A1 is dribbling the ball in the Frontcourt near the division line. B1 is applying close pressure. A1's dribble contacts B1's foot and bounces into A1 backcourt. As the official is displaying the TIP signal, s/he inadvertently sounds the whistle.:eek:
What is the next procedure?

Team A still had Team Control of the Ball, therefore, Team A is awarded a Designated Spot Throw-in at the Designated Throw-in Spot closest to where the Ball was at the time it became Dead.

Agreed. So, if the whistle sounded before the ball hit the (back)court, the throw-in is in the FC; if the ball had already hit the floor in the BC, then the throw-in is in the BC.

Designated Throwin Spot ...
 

... at the closest of the eight "magic spots".

Designated Throw-in Spots are the "magic spots"

Don't we have "Designated Throw-in Spots" for out of bounds violations?

While I agree that "Magic Spots" is not a great way to describe such "Spots" for non-out of bounds throwins, what words should we use to differentiate "Designated Throw-in Spots" for out of bounds violations from "Designated Throw-in Spots" for other violations and fouls without using the long description of "the nearest twenty-eight-feet mark along each sideline or the nearest spot three-feet outside the lane line on the end line"?

Billy:

Peter Webb said that there are no Spot Throw-ins but that there are: i) Designated Spot Throw-ins (which can be on either an End Line or a Side Line) and ii) Non-Designated Spot Throw-ins (which can be only on the End Line). Throw-ins take place either at: i) a Designated Spot on the End Line or the Side Line or ii) anywhere along the End Line.

I re-read your question and realize that my term, Designated Throw-in Spot, for the eight “magic spots”, needs to be tweaked.

The eight “magic spots” are only for Designated Spot Throw-ins. And the best new term that I can create is: Designated Spot Throw-in Spot. I agree that it is not very elegant but it really does accurately define one of the eight “magic spots.
