Technical and throw-in spot

Not sure about that. This isn't like yardage, especially considering a team down three is likely not throwing the ball into the paint anyway. The thorw in pass is likely headed to the same area whether it's from the endline or the division line.

Maybe we could allow a team to decline a penalty, though. Want to keep your throw in spot? Ok, but you don't get the FTs.

Agreed...and personally, as a player who was an excellent passer, I would rather have a throw-in from the division line; eliminates the backboard as an obstacle.

What if the original throw-in spot was FT line extended?
