And this was an unannounced change in recent rules...hence the OP's possible confusion.

Until recently, the violation was for touching the ball OOB and the spot was the spot closest to that violation. For some crazy reason (someone on the rules committee had it wrong all these years and wanted to make their mistakes correct) the committee flipped the ruling that had been around forever and made the spot be the throwin spot....as if the ball went out untouched but to the team that didn't touch it. It's fully inconsistent with common sense but that's the way it is.
