Who does the Throw in?

A few officials got together last night and had a debate about who does a throw-in on a sideline in front court.

Trail on opposite side of Lead in front court. Lead has a ball go OOB on his line above the free throw line extended.

Does the Lead step up to administer the Throw in, thus causing a switch, or does the Trail go over to administer the Throw in, even though it was the Lead's line?

I've done it both ways...depending on how we pre-game it.
Would like to know the correct procedure, if there is one, so as not to get marked down in the post season.

Also, I usually have the Lead bounce pass to a player from the endline if the ball is OOB, frontcourt, on the sideline below the free throw line extended.

Dude,

Rule of thumb, administer your line.

In my games, when the Trail is near the top of the key, the Trail will often administer the throw-in, while the Lead switches sides. If the Trail is free-throw line extended, then Trail will drop down.

This is similar in philosophy to a bump-and-run.
