Throw in spot?
 

Two man crew working youth AAU game: A has throw in from under own basket and tosses out to top of key area where ball is tipped first by A1 and then recovered by A1 deep in backcourt. Trail whistles for back court call, lead comes to discuss and a correction is made. Where is impending throw in spot?

Where do you put a ball in after an inadvertent whistle?

Where it was when inadvertent whistle occurred?

Make it a statement instead of a question and you'll be right. ;)

What if the whitsle happens with the ball in middle of flight?

What's the ball location (I mean the rule defintion of location)?

I know the answer, was asking the OP

Well, I guess the ball location when the whistle blew was deep in A's backcourt, where A1 first touched. When the refs conferred they were at midcourt and put ball back in play there.

You are where you were until you get where you're going.

This works for both player location, and ball location.

Also. The midcourt line is twenty-eight feet from the endline, and hasn't been used in NFHS rules for at least twenty years. Did you mean division line?

Confucius say what?
 

"Don't sweat the small stuff"? Maybe that was someone else. I guess I used "midcourt" to describe the vicinity the refs were in when they discussed play. "Table-side" could maybe have been a more correct term. If I was going to establish a spot throw in, or refer to a specific line, I believe I would use "division" line. Speaking of "line", the bottom line is no one has answered, I don't believe definitively, the original question: Where is the throw-in made on this play involving the IW? I'm going to assume from the questions, comments and posts that most feel it would be at the spot closest to where the ball was when the IW occurred.

He didn't say midcourt line. He said the refs conferred at midcourt.

You said A1 was in possession of the ball when the IW occurred. So why do you think the throw-in spot would be anywhere other than the spot closest to A1?

Then by the old, really old, definition, they were between the twenty-eight foot hash mark and the division line. Wait a minute, there is no more twenty-eight foot hash mark. Thank God. Anybody work on a court so old that there are twenty-eight foot hash marks, inbounds, on the playing court?

I must be missing something here...
 

...A has team control, A1 touches the ball in the front court, then chases it down and recovers in the backcourt. Why is this not a backcourt violation?

This is coming from a throw-in...thus player control must also be established first before you can have a backcourt violation, 10 second count, or 3 second violation.
