Rules reference would be appreciated.

And the reason for this is that before the throw-in you could conceivably have a 'T' against the team that is shooting free throws: illegal uniform, admin w/the book, F-bomb, etc. Then the other team would get the initial throw-in.

Don't know if that's why the rule is the way it is, but it's definitely why it matters.
