Unless the inbounds players are "splitting" the spot, only one player can stand next to the thrower, an adjacent player in the parallel line would be standing next to the inbounds player (who is standing next to the thrower). It's simple trigonometry. Or one could simply use a measuring tape, only one player in the parallel line (unless two players are splitting the spot) can be closest, and therefore, next to the thrower.
