NASO and Referee Magazine (I do realize that Referee Magazine has had problems with rules in the past).

Also, check out page 22 in the NFHS Two Person Manual: 2.2.E.4. (I can't copy and paste from this PDF file, so please don't make me type it out.)

C'mon Snaqwells. I've listed three different "national" citations. I do realize that we all have our little "Romes" out there, and I also realize that the way we really officiate a game and the way it is done "by the book" are not always the same. bob jenkins put it best, the "by the book" rule is, "New trail has all throw-ins in the back court (bump and run). Otherwise, the official responsible for the line has the throw in". In real games, as long as you make eye contact with your partner, and make the mechanic look smooth, nobody will notice whether you do it "by the book", or not, in many cases, not even colleague observers in the stands.
