Hmmm...

If the T is in the first half, then the administering official will be nearly in front of the offending team's bench.

If the T is in the second half, the administering official will be a little farther away (opposite end, same side) than the other official (opposite side, near center court) during the throws, but will be right in front of the bench as soon as the ball goes the other way.

Better, IMHO, to have the calling official handle the throw-in -- opposite side, center court.
