I don't think I've ever seen any rule or interpretation that requires that.

And I'm not sure there would be one since the thrower may legally make the throwin from almost outside the spot except for a toe....which, after they release the ball, could easily and legally carry them outside the space by several feet.

And what if it were a non-spot throwin.
