question for Texas Refs

[FrankHtown]

In Houston, we were told the lead administers ALL throw-ins below the free throw line extended, for both 2 and 3 person.

So Houston does not follow NFHS rules in all cases? It would make more sense for trail to administer since sideline is his/her line to call. Trail could bounce pass and then step back into proper position. In fact, I had this exact situation in camp last week. Ball went out of bounds on my sdieline well below the foul line. And coach was rightfully so adamant about ball being spotted on sideline, not endline. I'm in Georgia. BTW, I plan on moving to Tyler, Texas in a couple of years. My wife is from Ft. Worth and would like to be closer to her family. I'm origianally from NY, but I LOVE Texas. Great state.

I have done both ways.

NFHS mechanics manual prescribes that the trail inbound all throw-ins on his sideline, but I like the lead taking the throw-in below the freethrow line extended much better. Just my opinion.

Snake-eyes, why is that?
