Any violation between the lane lines and below the top of the key can be taken out on the endline on either side of the lane.

On the shooter's violation, I don't know. Administer without a rotation, IMO.
I disagree that any thing anywhere in the lane can go to either side. Look at the diagram for throwin spots, and it tells you to go to whichever side of the lane the violation or foul occurred. When in doubt, take the easier route.

Officials Manual 2.2.2 A2. The ball is taken out of bounds at the appropriate spot according to Diagram 2-5. The spot should be designated by the administering official. Then apply Boxing-in Principle 2.0.3.

Put it in on either side, it doesn't matter. What if the ball falls completely short of the rim directly in the center? Then how do you figure out which side to put it in on?

Alrighty then.... I put the ball it in nearest where the violation is (to me that's where the ball went out or missed the ring, or player entered the lane), and am consistent with that. If that forces a switch so be it. I work with a lot of young officials and try to emphasize the out of bounds locations too - not just a whim (many try to put it in wherever...). Again, trying to be consistent. JMO

I agree with you 100% on putting the ball in play nearest the violation, and I'm 100% with you on, "if that forces a switch so be it", as well as 100% behind you on a player entering the lane too early. I'm just not convinced about the missed free throw. You are probably correct, but I would like some more input.
