Being "In the Know"

I don't know any from this season. The last couple of seasons have seen unannounced changes in throw-in procedures.

1) After a made or awarded score, the inbounding team retains the privilege of running the endline if the defensive team commits a common foul that does not result in bonus FTs (assuming the foul was committed near the endline).

2) The defending team may not break the OOB plane until the throw-in has been released toward the playing court.

Chuck: I take "near the endline" to mean the foul occurs in the area in which a foul going to a throw-in would normally go to the baseline, that is, the lane, the key, and the two triangles created by drawing lines connecting the elbows with the near end corners of the court. This is what they mean, right?
