Basline throw-in after made basket and T.O.

Had this happen last season. A lame scenario, but this board is S-L-O-W.

Team A scores. Team B is granted a T.O. Team B will be able to run the baseline on the throw-in. Coach of B asks me where the throw-in will be. I had never given much thought of it (the beginning location of an endline throw-in) so I said, "you can take it on either side of the hoop and then your player can run the baseline. Where would you like it?" He chose a specific side because he wanted to run a certain play and needed to know the exact spot.

As officials, do we need to pick the "starting spot" for the endline throw-in? What if we decide to take it on the left side of the lane line and the throwing team returns from the T.O. and wants to take it on the other side? Hypothetically, what if they want the baseline throw-in to start 2-feet from the sideline?
