Point of Interruption

I, too, think the inbounding of the ball at the point opposite the table is just good sense, not necessarily a rule.

While we're on the subject, did you know it's also just a tradition to have the players stand at or behind the division line during a technical (or intentional)free throw? (NF rules)

The only rule governing this is that players may not be on the lane and that players not on the lane must be behind the three point line and the free throw line extended, just like anyone not on the lane during a normal free throw. Yet you always see everyone get the players back to the division line. In fact, I bet the players think that's the rule.

Your comments bring a question to mind. During the shooting of a technical or intentional personal foul, may either coach call his players over, near the coaching box for a quick talk provided the coach remains off the court and his players on the court?
