In NFHS mechanics, the T handles all sideline throw-ins.

HATE this mechanic.

It's not that bad. As Trail I can bounce the ball to the thrower from 25 feet away which leaves me in pretty good position. Would be nice to have the option to administer from Lead, but whatevs.

Me too. Let the lead bounce and then turn attention back into the post and let the T count and officiate the throw-in.

Sometimes I don't want to bounce it THAT far as the T and I'd rather be in the position I want and not have to bounce and take a few steps to get there.

I guess that's what I'll start doing next year: Bounce it as I'm moving away and end up close to the top of the key-extended by the time the thrower throws it in.
