Where is the Throw-in?

I agree with the underlined part. I even can agree with the part in red where you state that the location of the violation is where the OOB player touched the ball. However, according to the new wording of the penalty section of 9-2 it doesn't matter. ALL THROW-IN VIOLATIONS RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL SPOT. In other words, whenever and whereever an article in 9-2 is infringed, the opponent gets the ball back at the original throw-in spot. We no longer award the ball at the nearest OOB spot to the violation. That language was changed.

That is what I was flipping out about back in post #6 of this thread. If you skipped it go read it again.
