Throw-In Location After a Time-Out

The only different rule as it relates to timeouts and ball location is the option to advance it (if the proper criteria is met) under two in the 4th and/or OT.

I believe at one time there were some rules that required the offense to get to the FC or they lost some privileges. I know now that if a timeout is called in the BC that they have to get the ball across within 8 seconds total (or get across before the 16 second mark on the shot clock). This was some time ago when this was the case, but I can ask someone and find out for sure. I just remember someone telling me there was a rule in the NBA that kind of reflects what this guy might be talking about. Then again I do not claim to be sure, just something I remember talking to someone about that I did not always realize.
