I have a problem with Part (b) of Casebook Play 7.6.3D. I do not understand what is meant by an offensive player moving into the area means. Whether there is an actual restraining line drawn on the court or the officials have to use an imaginary restraining line if a player (offensive or defensive) other than the player making the throw-in (see the exception above) a throw-in violation has occured.
This is why Casebook Play 7.6.3D(b) puzzles me.

Yes, Mark, on some older courts there is a dashed line that goes around the floor, about 3' from the boundary.
The space between the boundary and the dashed line is the area of which they write.
If there is no line drawn, that is where I say, "forget it if possible, enforce as necessary". If the gym owners won't bother to paint it, I am not going to think too much about enforcing the imaginary stuff.
