I distinctly recall several situations back in the 80s when throw-ins were administered either at the division line (other than if the violation was near the division line or in the case of a T or starting a period) or the free-throw line extended (I think that free-thrown violations were administrered from the free-throw line extended for the longest time until about the early 90s).
In an earlier officiating life (some time in the mid to late 80's), I clearly recall free throw violations resulting in a throw-in at the free throw line extended.
