Throw-in spot

The violation is for failing to release the shot such that it subsequently hits the rim.

I think the logical place for the violation is the location of the ball....not the rim.

Note, this is a logical POV, I've not investigated the actual rule yet.

there are two ways to violate -- fail to release the ball on a try and fail to have the ball hit the rim. Your backcourt play is the first, so the inbounds spot is in the (old) backcourt. The try-horn-miss scenario is the second, and that's not a violation until the ball misses the rim, so that's the spot of the violation.
