A rule question came up, remember in a game the referee is always right, he uses his best judgement and knowledge of the rules, We can't expect our volunteer referee's to memorize the rule book. What makes it hard is that the NBA, College, and high school rules are different. Basically the same but tweaked to meet each level of competition. And I bet we watch more NBA games than high school. Remember we use high school rules. If a Referee in your game misapplies a rule just go with it, next time it might favor you. But we will always try to clarify rules to upgrade everyone's refereeing abilities.
The rule in question is a good one, if there is a time out under one's basket say after a made basket. and a time out is called, do you advance the ball to the hash mark? (do we even have hash marks?) if we were playing in the NBA yes but high school no, the general rule is, for any stoppage of play, non-shooting fouls, violations, time outs, technical fouls. You always throw the ball in from the sideline/baseline nearest the spot where the event occurred, however by definition if the ball is in the lane, the throw in is from the baseline on the side of the basket.
