I just started officiating basketball and one of the things I am unclear about are throw-in locations.
Both the NCAA and NFHS rule books says that (in most situations) throw-ins occur "at the spot nearest where the violation occurs". Of course, this excludes situations where the throw-in will be at the division line like double fouls, technical fouls (for HS), etc. I know that when the ball goes out of bounds, the location of the throw-in is the spot where the ball went out of bounds. And for violations or fouls that occur considerably far from the end line (e.g. beyond the 3-point line), the throw-in will be from the sideline. How about for violations and fouls that occur close to the end line, specifically from the free-throw line extended to the endline? Should the throw-in be from the sideline or the endline? I know that in the NBA, only out-of-bounds situations result in endline throw-ins. All other violations have sideline throw-ins. I have scoured the NFHS and NCAA rule books from cover to cover for the answer to this but I haven't found any. Please help, for believe it or not, some of the players in the league I officiate in started questioning the locations of the throw-ins. |

Anything inside the FT circle or inside those diagonal lines is put in play on the endline. Anything outside that area is put in play on the sideline. Notice that there is a little area that is outside the diagonal lines but still inside the the 3-point arc; so you can have a foul inside the 3-point arc, but still put it in play on the sideline. And yes, of course, we believe that the players in your rec league were questioning this. [Edited by ChuckElias on Oct 17th, 2004 at 12:46 PM]

...and where would you spot the throw-in following a timeout?

Just remember that a throw in for most times is at the spot OOB closest to where the ball was when the whistle blew. Use the description of dividing the court that ChuckElias posted and you should not have any questions.
