Designated Spot Definition

Originally posted by hoopsrefBC
Does the NCAA or the NFHS give a definition of a "designated spot". My understand is that once a player has be given a spot for a throw in they must keep at least one foot as a pivot. However after discussion with my educator, i have been informed that the "designated spot" is actually a 3 foot area and that a player may move one or both feet in this area.

Has a player, who has been designated to a spot for a throw in moves both feet before the ball is release committed a violation?

Thanks

SH,
Here is the quote of rule and note from the 2000 NF Rule Book.

"Rule 4-41-Art.6... The designated throw-in spot is 3 feet wide with no depth limitation and is established by the official prior to putting the ball at the thrower's disposal.
Note: The thrower must keep one foot on or over the spot until the ball is released. Pivot foot restrictions and the traveling rule are not in effect for a throw-in. "
