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

That is plenty of time to shoot the ball from another position where under the basket you might not get a good look at all.

Again, this is not our problem. Because if the T was given to the team that was called for the FT and you give them the ball under their basket, some would say that was not right either. It is all about perspective.

As a coach, I'd rather diagram a play from the division line than from underneath my basket. I would feel I could better utilize the spacing on the court.

I rarely see any plays where the PG runs down to the end line and yells "Motion!!!"

Three seconds is a lot of time from the to ball being inbounded at the division line. Actually unless you can get the pass directly in the lane area, then you are making a possible bad pass or you are not going to get time to make a couple of passes to get the shot off in time. The division line at least gives you a chance to get someone up in a spot to take a decent shot. But I get your point. I just see plays work better in that situation away from the basket unless the defense completely misses an assignment, which usually does not happen that badly.

Maybe we should let the offense check the ball at the top of the key after a 'T'. Or we can go all soccer-like and have them take penalty free throws from the spot of the infraction.

could go back and forth all day about different scenarios....time/score/ etc....but its not the point...for every one of your I'd rather have it at half court....I'll give you the 0.02 seconds left and I have a 7 foot center scenario where I want it under the hoop to make that in bounds pass...
