Wrong. In FIBA, any time the ball gets wedged - including a throw-in - it is an AP situation.

Correct. If a throw-in hits the rim, play continues; however, the 24-second clock is NOT reset.

I quoted the EXACT portion of the rulebook above. Read much?

Been doing FIBA for over 30 years, eh? When's the last time you read the rulebook or the casebook? Pages 9 and 10 of the FIBA Interpretations Manual cover throw-in plays.

I bet you're still disallowing substitutions by the defensive team in the frontcourt as well, eh? How about dribblers who are straddling the centre line? Still calling them for over-and-back? I'll bet you get really funny looks when you award "3 to make 2".
