0. In the following situations the subsequent throw-in shall be administered at the centre line extended, opposite the scorer's table:

•   At the beginning of all periods other than the first period.

•   Following a free throw(s) resulting from a technical, unsportsmanlike or disqua-

  lifying foul.

  The player taking the throw-in shall have one foot on either side of the centre line extended, opposite the scorer’s table, and shall be entitled to pass the ball to a team-mate at any place on the playing court.

  During the last two (2) minutes of the fourth period and during the last two (2) minutes of each extra period, following a time-out taken by the team that is entitled to possession of the ball from its backcourt the throw-in shall be administered at the throw-in line opposite the scorer’s table in the team’s frontcourt. 

--These are the only rules for throw-ins 

--But there are some amendments

 

Statement 4

If a time-out is granted to a team that has been awarded possession of the ball in its backcourt during the last two (2) minutes of the fourth period or the last two (2) minutes of each extra period, the throw-in shall be administered at the throw-in line opposite the scorer’s table in the throw-in team’s frontcourt. The player taking the throw-in must pass the ball to a team-mate in the front court. 

(note:  this is coming from a timeout…)

-----AND ALSO, there's another amendment to that…

There are additional situations to those listed in Art. 17.2.3 in which the subsequent throw-in shall be administered from the centre line extended, opposite the scorer’s table.

(article 17.2.3 is only is in the beginning of this email)

Example:

1. (a)  The player taking the throw-in from the centre line extended opposite the scorer’s table commits a violation and the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in at the place of the original throw-in.

2. (b)  If during a fighting situation members of both teams are disqualified, there are no other foul penalties remaining for administration, and at the time the game was stopped a team had control of the ball or was entitled to the ball.

Interpretation:

In all the above situations the thrower-in can pass the ball to either the frontcourt or the backcourt.
