Right from 23-24 Interps: SITUATION 1: Team A has an alternating possession throw-in at the division line to start the second quarter. (A) Team A commits a violation by taking longer than five seconds to release the ball, (b) A2 commits a common foul in Team A's backcourt near the free throw line before the bonus is in effect. RULING: In (a) Team B is awarded a division line throw-in and in (b) Team B is awarded a throw-in from one of the designated spots closest to where the foul was committed. COMMENT: A throw-in violation that occurs during a division line throw-in remains at the division line. When a foul occurs during a division line throw-in the spot of the in-bound will be based on where the foul occurred. (5-4-2, 7-5-3a, 7-5-4)

Rather than rely on some general "rules of thumb", I decided to use the "penalty" section of different rules (common fouls, violations, etc.) that would subsequently lead to a throwin.

By definition (I assume; I didn't really look this up), "rules of thumb" are wrong in some specific circumstances.
