Even though there have been multiple rules mentioned, the only one that applies to teammates being OOB on a throw-in is 7-5-7.

How about R9-2-12? That one sez that no teammate of the thrower can legally be OOB during a designated-spot throw-in. If the FED had wanted this rule to apply to all throw-ins, they would have removed "designated-spot" from the language. They didn't. Ergo, it's legal for all teammates of the thrower to be OOB after a non-designated spot throw-in begins.

Ok, what I meant to say is the one rule that allows teammates to be OOB at the same time, which is the situation we're talking about.
Going OOB to avoid a screen is the specific example given as to the violation, without any conditions, such as "except on a throw-in where more than one player is allowed OOB".

Yabut......there
are "conditions" in R9-3-2. The condition is that to have a violation, the player must go OOB for an
unauthorized reason. There are no
unauthorized reasons listed anywhere in the rules that I know of that say any teammate of the thrower can illegally be OOB on the same endline during a non designated-spot throw-in. That's why we're asking somebody to cite such a rule if they know one. A player going OOB for an
authorized or legal reason just doesn't meet the primary condition of R9-3-2.
