"As for HS and NCAAM, my original statement is correct. You are NOT allowed to bounce the ball across the lane for a throw-in. I don't have this year's NCAA mechanics manual (CCA, or whatever it is); but the Fed Official's Manual says: "All throw-ins on either end line shall be made with the administering official outside the thrower -- between the sideline and the thrower." (paragraph 218) and "When administering throw-ins on the end line and remaining in the front court, handing the ball to the thrower is recommended." (paragraph 220)."
Not to play the devil's advocate or throw unnecessary fuel on the fire, but the rule doesn't state that the preferred position is between the nearer sideline and the thrower; and a position "outside the thrower" could easily be interpreted as being certain that the thrower is bracketed by the lead and trail officials. In my opinion the positioning requirements should be more explicitly stated.

???? No bounce with no pressure???
I don't have this years mechanics manual but I'm looking at the NFHS 2001-2003 Manual
220 starts out "The administering official shall hand or BOUNCE the ball to the thrower... When adminstering throw-ins on the side line, a bounce is recommended. When administering throw-ins on the end line and remaining in the front court, handing the ball to the thrower is recommended. (This last line suggests to me that if you are not staying in the frontcourt, a bounce is okay.) Diagrams 17, 18, 19, & 21 all show opportunities for making a bounce pass. Nowhere does the manual show bouncing the pass across the key but in my opinion (and it appears to be my opinion only)if you are in the backcourt, there is no pressure by the defense, your partner is on the other side of the court boxing in, and the thrower is across the key... who cares? Bounce him the ball and get going.

I had an evaluator give me the business about this a couple of weeks ago, so I'm going to re-ask the question. If it is only RECOMMENDED that you hand the ball to the thrower on the front-court baseline, then you CAN bounce it, correct? And as long as you have the players boxed in, you're good, correct?
I was actually rotating across and he asked me why and then directly, "What does your officials manual say?" I went home and looked it up. From the word recommended (and the evaluator's strong assertion) I concluded that you could bounce it across the key. If I go back to him with the cite from the book, how would I argue that you CAN'T do this?
