What is the proper placement for a throw-in resulting from a violation by the jumper?

The proper placement for a throw-in following a violation by the jumper is in the new front court, near the mid-court line. This is important because when a jump ball is called and a violation occurs, such as a player leaving the center circle too early or another infraction by one of the jumpers, the team that did not commit the violation is awarded the throw-in.

Positioning the throw-in at the mid-court line allows for a fair opportunity for the offense to set up their play while also acknowledging that the violation occurred in a neutral area. This placement helps maintain the flow of the game and provides a balanced situation for the team gaining possession.

Other options are not appropriate placements for the throw-in following a jumper's violation, as they do not reflect the rules regarding where possession is awarded in such situations.
