Wrong BZ, read them again. Both 2004-2005 casebook situations that I cited specifically use the phrase "B1 reaches through the boundary line plane" - that's a direct quote.
Whether they simply violate the plane, or commit a technical or intentional foul by touching the ball or thrower respectively is irrelevant with regard to this discussion - all occur during a throw-in. The precise action that is clearly stated by NFHS as precipitating the warning/penalty is reaching through the boundary line plane.
I would never use the terms "don't reach" while the ball is in play on the court, but in the specific context of the throw-in, I believe it is perfectly acceptable terminology for the reasons I have previously cited. As I said earlier, it's clear, concise, and it works - and further I have never had a problem or misunderstanding using this technique, nor a negative comment from any partner or evaluator.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
