Before I administer the throw-in, if the defender is playing close to the line, I give a reminder to not cross the plane. In that same vein, I'll remind the thrower he can back up as far as he/she needs to. After giving the ball to the thrower, I'm more focused on the immediate action on the court (cutter, screens, holds, etc.) so I'm not going to be too worried about if the defender has crossed the plane just a little bit. If I'm going to get this call it's going to be clear and obvious.
