Not sure how helpful that is given that you play by NCAAW rules on the girls side, and thus may also employ many NCAAW mechanics.

IAABO Throwin Mechanics ...

Administering official may bounce the ball to the thrower, with the following exceptions:
- On all frontcourt endline throwins, the ball shall be handed to the thrower.
- If fans or bench personnel create congestion, or there is defensive pressure, the ball shall be handed to the thrower.

Administering official may hand the ball to the thrower (no exceptions listed).

Not very clear? Need more information? You're out of luck. That's all I can find regarding handing, or bouncing, for two-person IAABO throwin mechanics.

So now IAABO stands for "I Am A Bouncy Official"?

This is the primary reason TO bounce the ball to the thrower. Get wide, so you have a good look at everything, then bounce the ball to the thrower.

For this reason I've started always bouncing on the sidelines and BC endline. Even caught myself bouncing on the FC endline.

I did catch myself flipping once on the sideline this year. Luckily, it felt weird so I haven't done it again.

Personally, I prefer to bounce the coaches and, if I can, the parents who amuse themselves by loudly counting off perceived three-second violations.

I have taken to congratulating these parents on the quality of their public school education. I assure them that my public school shortchanged me by only teaching me to count to 2.

I prefer to do something to the coaches and parents also, but I'm not sure "bounce" is a strong enough word.

Thanks for the suggestions. Like BITS, I find that I am most comfortable with bouncing the ball whenever there is defensive pressure, for the stated reason, and handing the ball when there isn't, no matter whether it is on the side or endline. Of course, one complication, mostly at the youth level, is when I back up a couple of steps to prepare to bounce the ball on a spot throw-in and see the player move closer to me to get the ball!

"What part of 'spot throw-in' did you not understand, 33?"
