3 seconds...where is the ball inbounded
 

Ball was at the top of the 3 point line when 3 in the paint was called....where does the ball get placed for a throw in?

The ball is dead when the violation occurs and is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation.

so the violation was obviously in the paint. So the ball should've been inbounded at the baseline?

Yes, you answered your own question.

Thank you! I thought I knew what the answer was, but my partner insisted it was at the sideline across from the ball...It was in my mind not worth arguing with him about...the opposing team was not pressing so mute point I guess.

Who was the T and L before the 3 seconds was called?

I was the L and I made the call. My partner the T took the ball from the point gaurd and pointed to the sideline. I called for the ball under the basket but he pointed and insisted it was on the side.

So you made the call, you were administering the throw-in, but your partner determined the designated spot?

It's a point that can't speak? I guess that also makes it a dumb point.

fixed it for ya

It doesn't matter where the ball was, but where the violation occurred. Put ball in play at the nearest spot OOB to the violation.
