I see what you're saying. No, you don't get 3 feet either way. You can pick your direction, and go up to 3 feet in that direction. Then when you return, you can only go so far as the original spot. In other words, the thrower-in decides where his initial spot is laterally among the 3 feet.
Gotcha. Interesting, but the rule says the spot is determined by the official. That said, render runto Caesar....
