Where is the spot?

Also from 2012-2013 NFHS rule book:

Rule 4-42 art. 5: The Throw-in ends when:
a. The passed ball touches or is touched by another player inbounds.
b. The passed ball touches or is touched by another player out of bounds, except as in 7-5-7.

A few of us remember, way back, when the understanding of such a call was that the violation took place by the thrower - having not thrown the ball "directly into the court."
Now, the violation is understood, as JetMet noted, that the violation occurs when the player attempting to receive the pass, does so while out-of-bounds. Consequently, as noted in the PENALTY for 9-3, the throw-in is qat the spot nearest to where the player touched the passed ball illegally.

If you read my post, you will see that Jet Man's interpretation has been, with the exception for a few years during the Mary Struckhoff years, the interpretation going back well over fifty years.

Thanks, somehow, my old computer didn't show me posts 3 thru 8, (yours), when I replied to the OP. (I was thinking of you when I referred to the few of us that remember the old interp.)
In the NFHS Basketball Handbook, there is a somewhat cryptic reference to a change in 1955 . . . "ball awarded out of bounds nearest to where violation occurs;" and another in 1965 . . . "designated spot for certain throw-ins."

With regard to the word "old", I resemble that remark.
