You're wandering into repulsive territory my friend.

Correct my mistake if I'm wrong as I don't have nearly as much experience as others...

But doesn't FED want the lead outside on baseline throw-ins while NCAA wants you inside?

I think FED gives you some options as well as Men's mechanics. And this might be shaped by who you work for and where you live. I always recommend people to be outside unless you are outside of the 3 point line on a throw in because most officials as the lead put themselves in a bad sport when they go inside on a throw in. Then again in my state we have the option, it is not required. And that is what he might hear when going to a camp and other opinions that will disagree with that very opinion.

My three man experience is fairly limited. What do you think are the pros and cons of being inside v. outside on the baseline throw-in?

If the throw-in spot is at the 3-point arc, then standing outside the inbounder gives you a very bad view of the post. If the throw-in goes directly to a post player, you don't get a good look at the play. You'd either have to move behind the inbounder or step onto the court to see around him/her.

If you administer the throw-in from "inside" the inbounder, you only have to turn your head to see that play in the post.

Scrappy pretty much said what I was going to say. I do not have much to add to his points. I would also say that many times the official on the inside end up in the lane and also lose the angle on plays that might quickly go to the basket off the throw-in. I just think when you are outside you are in a familiar position and you will not have to move very much to stay in good position if you start on the outside. Once again this for me is an option and I never take a player to the outside and I stay in the inside. Then again I have much experience with both mechanics and drew much of that conclusion on my own. Later I was told that you do not need to go inside except for when the ball is around the 3 point line on the baseline.

If I have room, with room being defined as the ability to work my mechanics between the lane line and the player, I'm probably going to go inside. But I have gone inside only to come outside before.
