Throw-ins: Sideline or Endline?

Chuck is right on with his description. I just wanted to add that the spot throw-in will be at the nearest spot, except when the nearest spot is on the endline inside the lane (when the violation or foul occurs inside the lane or FT circle). In that case, the spot will be just outside the nearest side of the lane. Never have a throw-in directly behind the backboard.
