Hand and count with closer arm. Chop with farther arm.

Re. #1, my association mandates that we backcourt count toward the table.

OH!! OH!! The end of the world is near both jdw3018 (Post #4) and Rut (Post #5) handle throw-ins the way I do. The world is doomed.

You don't have to be SOOO dramatic!

I'm guessing we agree on pretty much everything - other than the finer points of a kicked ball...

No specific mechanics for which hand to use on a throw-in. Use what feels comfortable to you (with the caveat of make sure you don't hit a player).

Now, what you may hear at many camps (although I don't believe it's an actual mechanic) is on an OOB call to stop the clock with the arm in the direction to which you'll be pointing. IOW, if you're T and, facing the court, the backcourt is on your left, a ball OOB off of the offensive team - you'd raise your left hand, then point to the left.

Or hit the wall, jamming my fingers, like I did last week. And by the way, I have hit players, several times in twenty-seven years, usually after a held ball call, after I look at the arrow at the table, and maybe my partner. In those few milliseconds, I lose track of players around me. So far, no serious injuries. Thank God.
