So for a spot throw-in, the player throwing the ball in has a 3-foot "box" to work in and he can move within that "box" and it's not a violation?

What if he leaves that 3-foot "box"? Snaqwells said it's not traveling but simply a throw-in violation. So is the penalty to award the ball to the opposing team?
A 3-foot wide "box" that extends as far back as can be gone. He only has to keep one foot over that three foot "box". Which, if you think about it, makes that three foot "box" pretty wide. For example, he can move left in that box until only his right foot is over the box, then move back right until only his left foot is over that box. He can move back as far as he likes. If there's 10 feet back to the wall, he's got 10 feet. And, of course, he can jump. Multiple times.
