Under the basket throw in position.....

My advice? Take it out where it goes out. If that's in a corner, so be it. There's no need to set aside the rules here.

Unless, of course, your assigner wants you to "help" out the offensive team by giving them a more advantageous throwin spot than the rules provide for.

I spotted the baseline corner twice last night. Eventhough the team had lined up for a "Stack" between the lane and the sideline. I told the in-thrower to stand in my spot and they ran the same play, anyway. 😉

I will take your advice. In the manual Diagram 3-8 shows a ball being put in play outside the arc. Thanks for the advice, I will get it right from now on.

One of my favorite events: When I set up a spot throwin anywhere on the baseline except right on the lane line. A1 almost always heads for that nearest spot to the basket, and I have to (verbally) pull them out to me.

I found it's best to simply tell them how many steps to move.

"35, take 3 steps towards me." One of these days I may start that with "Simon says."

Scratch85,
In a 2-whistle game, there remains a judgment we may have to make.
Do we administer inside or outside ? There are positives and negatives with either choice

Oooh, good one, mick. Manual says outside for 2-person. Can't keep 'em boxed in otherwise. But you're sometimes inside?

I am. I figger that's not all that different from the Lead administering the ball on the front court sideline below the free throw line extended, where Lead is also inside the in-thrower.

I have a slight aversion too literally abandoning the endline to 8 or 9 players, by putting the in-thrower between me and them just for me to be watching an empty sideline.

Ya makes yer picks and takes yer chances. 🙂

Yes, it seems like this happens a couple times every game. Sometimes they look at you like you're crazy. I just stand at the spot and say "Come this way" until I get them to the spot where we're throwing it in.

The IAABO Mechanics Manual gives you a choice. You don't always have to "box in", as I've been told for over a quarter of a century. IAABO members: see page 49, in the Two-Person Mechanics Manual. Is anybody being taught this? Does anybody use this? The old mechanic was so easy to remember: me/ball/partner, all the time, everywhere on the court, anytime there was a throwin situation.

What are the NFHS guidelines in terms of "boxing in"? Is there an option to official/ball/partner?
