4-41-6 "The designated spot is 3 feet wide with no depth limitation"
You can read "depth" as meaning "from the sideline back to the wall". I choose not to put any "sideline" restriction on it.
If you put a restriction on it, then 9-2-1 would not allow you to leap over the court. But, 9-2-11 NOTE allows the offense to penetrate the plane -- again, not restricted to "arms or one foot", so you'd have a conflict between 9-2-1 and 9-2-11.
If you don't put the restriction on 4-41-6, then the rules aren't in conflict. 9-2-1 deals with "horizontal" movement, 9-2-5 deals with landing on the court before releasing the ball, and 9-2-11 NOTE says it's okay to leap over the court.
The NCAA rules are substantially the same.
