The general rule of thumb is to have a designated spot throw-in closest to where the violation occurred. For backcourt violations, that would be where the ball was touched.

Note though that there are some exceptions such as defensive goaltending or basket interference. In those cases, the throw-in is a non-designated spot throw-in same as after every basket.

The only real way to try and get these rules right is to get the relevant rule books every year and study them. it's good to see that you have the desire to improve your officiating skills. Hopefully the people here can assist you. There are some very knowledgable officials posting here. And....we all come here to learn from them.

Very much agreed.
