Placing the ball on the floor...

You wouldn't put the ball down and then go stand somewhere else. That is not the proper mechanic at this time.

In 2-man one official is to be at the throw-in/FT location with the ball and the other is on the intersection of the division line and the center circle (front for 30, back for 60).

For 3-man one official is with the ball at the throw-in/FT location while the other two officials are at that top of the FT semicircles (30) or on the blocks (60).

The mechanic of 2-man officials taking the spots of the free officials in 3-man was dropped a couple of years ago because the FED felt that it was better to have someone at the location from where play will be resumed.

Yes I do seem to be confused. I have always believed (and been told) that for TO's you are to stand at the top of the key (30) and on the block (60).
