Here in my little corner of Connecticut, every single time we inbound the ball on the backcourt endline, we must tell the inbounder if they have a designated spot, or if they can run the endline, along with using the appropriate signals.

+1 A good habit I have also adopted here in my neck of the backwoods.

On EVERY throw-in (following a violation, foul, timeout) whether its on the sideline or endline the administering official should designate the spot both visually & verbally.

I'll do it on every throw-in just to keep in the habit.

Endline, absolutely. Sideline? I'll point, of course, but I don't see the point of yelling "designated" there. I've never seen anyone run a sideline.

I never use the word designated. Maybe I should, but all I say is "this is your spot."

Hey folks ... this is the internet. You can't read tone from someone else's post. I don't care how smart your think you are or how good an official you are... you just can't. How smart is it to read a post, make a conscious decision to take that post in the most negative way possible, and then rip the poster for being negative... it was YOU that brought in the negativity. If there are multiple ways to read someone's "tone" - choose the nicest one.

Had a girl under pressure (ball, ball, ball!!!) take off down the sideline on me a few seasons ago

After the game I looked up the administration process & when it used the word "shall" instead of "may" I realized that I made the mistake & have been designating every spot from that day forward.
BTW, you dont have to yell it.

How long before you blew the whistle? I know since I've never seen it, I probably would have hesitated while she took 3 steps and been thinking wtf is going on here

Be Honest

I don't think anybody is saying that it is a bad idea, but it is still a courtesy, like counting 6 players and notifying before putting the ball in play. It is still ultimately the responsibility of the player to know. And having said that, any sympathy I might have had goes out the window when the kid screams the F word.

jar, I dont think this is an option, by rule, the administering official shall designate the throw-in spot.

What rule?

Perhaps its just an IAABO thing

Pg 124 of our manual under Throw-in (section C)
3. Official making the ruling SHALL indicate the throw-in spot.
4. Administering official SHALL designate throw-in spot.

[BayStateRef]

4-42-6

It is not just an IAABO thing.
