How are you training your inbounder? (Human Player)

I have a feeling that some teams will overlook the help of the inbounders during the match. Last year, we had the human players throwing the tubes over the wall to return the tubes closer to your rack, saving time from retrieving from the wall. Some teams were well prepared for this, training their human players (such as myself) to throw them as far as possible. Others overlooked this convenience and quite perhaps could only pick up tubes from the wall.

Thus, this raises questions about the significance of the inbounder on your team. Is your team doing anything special to train your inbounder for the competitions? What's the strategy you're going with in terms of returning basketballs? Does your inbounder serve a significant purpose in terms of helping during the match, apart from returning the basketballs to the field?
