I'm really curtous as to how the poster, Navedaref would have handled the same situation?????

Since you asked, I would have called a violation for a teammate of the thrower being OOB during a designated-spot throw-in. I would have pointed at that teammate and then given a direction signal the opposite way. If I remember correctly that teammate was almost under the basket OOB, so I would probably have given the throw-in on the same side as the original. However, if the teammate were OOB on the other side of the basket, then I would have administered the throw-in over on that side.
Now I also don't think that this was a tough call, it was an obvious violation. Was it an intense situation? Yes. But I don't believe that it took any great intestinal fortitude to make this call. Just blow the little whistle. This official did that. That's great, but isn't that what he gets $500 to do? Even if he did know the rule, I have a problem with him not setting a good example for other officials, and for furthering confusion such as this:

Lastly, a big thanks to Camron, who has wonderfully captured my original purpose for this post in his points throughout this thread.
