Did I handle correctly ?

Is that something you make a habit of every timeout even at the Varisty level? I've never thought to provide that unless they requested, although V coaches are prob more inclined to know to glance at the referee holding the ball. Or is this just an end of game clarification you provide on an "important" inbound....?

If it's not an obvious throw-in spot, we do it. This timeout qualifies regardless of the time of the game.

I also let the coaches know on the first horn if A can "run the end line."

I was the new lead, and had indicated to my partner where throw-in was but I think he lost focus a bit. I left out, while discussing T/O situation with table that Team A assistant asked me where the ball would be for the throw in and I told him

I feel that after experiencing this that it is my responsibility to ensure "everyone is on same page" and my partner is where he should be.

Cool. The key thing is to make sure your partner goes to the spot with the ball.

Team A makes a basket then calls time out. When you administer on the end line to B after the time out and they can "run the end line" where can you administer at at where can't you? Do you always start them near and end line and have them move after it is at their disposal? Can they request the ball midway between the lane line and the sideline? What if they want the ball right under neath the basket (I have always made them move out)?

Personally, I would stand where I would normally administer the throw in, in a situation where he couldn't run. As I said earlier I would switch sides if it was requested. But if the team wants the ball directly under the basket or antyhing along those lines let him stand there and bounce it to him. That's just how I would handle, if there is something in the book that designates otherwise please correct me!

Just to clarify this is only in a made basket, allowed to run scenario!

The more I think about it, there may be no reason to even switch sides if requested, let the inbounder stand where he wants the ball and bounce it to him from where you were prepared to administer. My only worry here is out of context it could appear like the old rec ball, lazy, bounce across so you and your partner don't have to switch when in fact it is a different scenario.

By rule, the team has the entire endline. So the team member may begin anywhere along the endline. It would be improper for an official to insist that a player begin the throw-in at any particular location. There is no rules justification for that.
This isn't a designated spot throw-in.

I agree from a rules standpoint, but from a mechanics standpoint I'm not administering the ball while he's in the lane extended. He can go exactly where he wants as soon as I deliver the ball.

If you told the team A assistant the throw-in location and he didn't tell his head coach, it's his own fault. Put the ball in where indicated originally. I'm sure the coach will pay better attention next time.
