What about during a 3-foot wide spot throw-in, can the player jump in the air sideways going past the 3-foot boundary but release the ball before he lands. Since he is where he's been until he lands, this wouldn't appear to be a violation. I am not convinced the act of holding onto the ball past the plane would be a violation either. It would look very weird and truthfully if I saw it live I would more than likely blow the whistle, but this is a good question.
