Out of bounds immediately followed by a time out before the inbounds (closest spot)
Violation (not OOB) immediately followed by a time out before the inbounds (eight spots)
Common foul (not bonus) immediately followed by a time out before the inbounds (eight spots)
Goaltending or defensive basket interference (run the endline)
Offensive basket interference (eight spots)
Ball goes out of bounds simultaneously off two opponents (closest spot)
Throwin violation (eight spots)
OOB Team last to touch unknown to the officials (closest spot)
Timeouts during the throwin (closest spot)
Live ball clock running timeouts (eight spots)

Some alternating possession arrow situations go to the closest spot, some go to the eight spots.

There doesn't seem to be a simple statement or "rule of thumb" to cover everything.

The spot does not change after a timeout. If it were an out-of-bounds violation, the timeout never changed the spot before, like it always did. Still trying to figure out the confusion. A timeout never moved the spot where we already were administering the throw-in. Why does this rule change that? It doesn't. And AP Arrow situations go to the 8 spots unless it is an out-of-bounds violation. They made that very clear a couple of years ago and this year the only thing that was reasonable added was the spots in the backcourt. Nothing changed. It sounds like you are confusing yourself more than anything.
