Shot clock expiration/throw-in spot

[TriggerMN]

Watching the end of the Richmond-Kansas game last night, there was a question the spot of a throw-in after a shot clock violation. For my own sake, I'm going to clarify the situation to better understand the rule.


The ball is tipped by B1 to the midcourt line. A1 picks up the ball and shoots the ball, with 1 second to go on the shot clock. When the shot clock expires, the ball is in flight and has reached the free throw line. When it is apparent the shot attempt will not hit the rim, the whistle is blown. Where is the throw in? It should be at the spot nearest where the try was attempted, correct?

If so, Higgins and Burr may have missed the call late in the game. (Kansas had attempted a shot at the top of the key, just outside the 3-point arc) Richmond was forced to go the length of the court, instead of receiving the ball on the sideline. It didn't end up mattering, as the Spiders scored with a second to go to win, but I was just curious.
