The player throwing the ball in can move his feet any way that he wishes to.There's no such thing as a pivot foot on a throw in.On a designated spot throw in,the player has an area three feet wide that he can move in unrestricted.The player can move forward or backward within that 3 foot area.The player can also move laterally(side-to-side)as long as they keep one foot on or over the 3 foot designated area until the balll is released on the throw in.The player can also jump and pass from the designated spot.
Don't listen to tv announcers when you see a player moving around on a spot throw in.I don't think any of them really understand the rule.Welcome to the forum,Rick.
