Why isn't throw in spot after a "T" POI...?

this makes zero sense.....

I am simply saying take the moving of the throw in spot out of the equation.....the two free throws and the ball should be the only "award" for the T.....moving the throw in spot should not be part of it....the throw in spot should not put either team at an advantage or disadvantage.....leave it the heck alone......

Dixon you need to think about what your saying as you rest your brain tonight. This is just your opinion and no one else is agreeing. And because we don't agree doesn't make your opinion wrong. My opinion is they should award the team 5 points and run the clock to zero, but I don't believe anyone else would agree with me so I don't bring it up. I have read this forum on an extremely regular basis for the past 10 years and I assure you these guys are here to help with any rules questions or interpretations. Don't let your first experience cloud your judgement of the members.

I believe it is just a matter of time before we see the change....like many others that have trickled down from the upper levels......

I could really give a rats butt, this is just discussion/debate for me......others seem to be bothered by that.....I had a situation happen in a game and it just didn't "feel right" to me.....so I brought it up......no big deal

How would this be coming from upper levels? There is no level who does it as you suggest. None.

Let's move the situation. A1 scores to go up by 1 with 3 seconds left and gets a T for taunting (assume he earned it). Would you rather have B take their shots and then head back down to the other end for the end line throw in?

Your initial argument makes no sense at all. POI would potentially give the ball to the offending team, which is silly. And in at least half, if not the majority of cases, you will end up putting the offended team at a disadvantage rather than an advantageous position. Only in a small number of cases would your awesome rule change help the offended team. You have tunnel vision - all you're seeing is the affect from this one play that might (might not) help this team, who would have probably won the game if they made the free throws. The free throws matter. Everything that happened earlier in the game matters, too. If they hadn't missed shots in the first half they may have won, too. You can't blame the rule for this loss. Lighten up, Francis.
