I assume he means that if team A commits a foul while a try is in the air, if the try is successful, team B's throw-in is from anywhere on the end line.

You mean a common foul against an opponent of a player committed by a teammate of a player in the act of shooting a ball, a ball that is in the air when the foul occurs, that eventually goes in the basket? Wow. Good catch sseltser, and just another ref. You guys are sharp. Thanks.

Since I just want to concentrate on designated spots in this section of the list, how's this change, in red:

After an intentional foul, a player control foul, a team control foul, or most common fouls before the bonus rule is in effect, the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throwin from the designated out of bounds spot nearest the foul.

Or if A has a throw-in from anywhere on the endline and B commits a foul during the throw-in such that the succeeding throw-in will be on the endline, then team A retains the right to throw-in from anywhere along the endline.

But BillyMac, I think that your change should fix it. (Or maybe I just opened a can of worms by thinking you already had this as a misunderstood rule.)
