I'll stick with the NFHS RULES BOOK, not some unidentified interpretation writer whose words only appear on the NFHS website and are not seen by most officials anyway.
It is unfortunate that you don't believe that this is a violation. It says so right there in the Rules Book.
It also states that the penalty is another throw-in from the original spot.
9-2-10. . . The opponent(s) of the thrower shall not have any part of his/her
person through the inbounds side of the throw-in boundary-line plane until the
ball has been released on a throw-in pass.
NOTE: The thrower may penetrate the plane provided he/she does not touch the inbounds
area before the ball is released on the throw-in pass. The opponent in this situation may
legally touch or grasp the ball.
PENALTIES: (Art. 10)
1.
The first violation of the throw-in boundary-line plane by an opponent(s)...
PENALTY: (
Section 2) The ball becomes dead when the
violation or technical
foul occurs.
Following a violation, the ball is awarded to the opponents for a
throw-in at the original throw-in spot.
