Substitution on throw in position

[JugglingReferee]

A coach need not be quality control for officials' intra-communication errors.

Having certain players perform specialized tasks is a completely valid coaching strategy, and should be expected at higher levels.

I'm going to let A1 back in.

Foul on Team A on a drive to B1 just outside the three point line. I have the whistle from T and indicate ball to the sideline.

However, the calling official clearly indicated that the ensuing throw-in would be on the sideline immediately following the foul, so the coach should be expected to see that and make his strategy decisions based upon it.

Mississippi used the "Cadillac" positioning for three-man as recently as the 2006-2007 season. I was thoroughly confused by this during my first scrimmage. Thankfully, the powers that be saw the light the next season.
