I am the official calling into question the rulew regarding the right to retaian the running of the base line.

The best explanation I have heard was the official who refered to last years rule book which had the rules change in there. I unfortunately misplaced last years book. I understand the intent of the rule however the rule as it is written this year does not mention the word "during" the throw-in.

It simply states you retain the right if the ensuing throw in is on the end line. The written rule is quite clear.

Welcome.

I'm doing this w/o the rule book, so some of the references may be wrong (of course, I typed the wrong reference with the rule book yesterday, so ...)

7-5 indicates where throw-ins will take place. To apply this rule, you determine what happened, then look at the appropriate section of 7-5 to determine what type of throw-in applies.

7-5-7 indicates that the throw-in is "along the end line" for any throw-in that occurs after / as a result of a made or awarded basket. It then goes on to state that the team "retains that right" for (some) subsequent throw-ins. IOW, you're only applying this second sentence if the first sentence applies -- the throw-in is immediately after a made or awarded basket.

Once the throw-in is complete, the first sentence doesn't apply, so the second won't be applied. You'll now use other sections of 7-5 to determine the throw-in spot.
