My questin is this: I know that if there is an actual restraining line, the inbounder cannot bounce pass the ball in this area, the defense cannot stand in this area, and a pass cannot be received in this area, but if the restraining line is imaginary (due to not having a physical one in place) do the same restricitons apply? I hope I was reasonably clear about it. Thanks!

Matt,
If the lines are not there, then simply imagine whether there was a need to call a violation. Did anyone benfit either way from a no-call?
Use your judgement. Keep it fair.
Just like that foul line that "They" forgot to mark. Call it, and don't worry too much about it.
