John, I'm very glad to hear that your interaction with us in cyberspace helped with your interactions with referees in the real world this year.
I'm also glad that you're still willing to learn, because as has already been pointed out, the travel rule and the dribbling rule do not apply to throw-in situations. A player can move her feet as much she wants, as long as she stays out of bounds and keeps one of her feet over the 3-foot wide designated spot.
Don't feel too bad about not knowing that, though, since the official on your game didn't know it either.
