That depends upon how you interpret the following parts of 7-5-7:
"and from any point outside the end line"
"a teammate(s) outside the boundary line"
To me the presence of the word "outside" in the rule means this way of making a throw-in is illegal even during a non-designated-spot end line throw-in.

Then why isn't it a violation if the thrower has some miscellaneous body parts, like his arms, inside the end line while he's making the throw-in?
|
As you know all the other provisions written for the designated-spot throw-in still apply when a team is permitted to run the end line. The only differences are what is specified in 7-5-7. Therefore, he only has to keep one foot on or over "any point outside the end line" instead of the designated spot.

That's nice.
Are you gonna answer the question above though?
