I'll see if I can convert this to metric...

In NFHS and NCAA, the throw-in spot is not considered front court or back court, simply OOB. Front court and back court are specifically the inbounds areas. Iirc, in FIBA, if the ball goes OOB next to the front court, the throw-in has to go back into the front court, correct? In NFHS and NCAA, that isn't the case; the throw-in can go anywhere inbounds.
