Throw In

[JRutledge]

Again, this seems to be very hard for you.

How many players do you think it would take to prevent the defender from standing next to the thrower? Probably more than one? Maybe? Possibly? Unless you see some very big players, player are not taking up that much space.

Also even if a team decided to be in that situation and put an offensive player right in front of the thrower, then they just made that player likely easy to defend and only 3 players that can reasonably take a pass on a throw-in. But like many things here, have people that will debate the unlikely.

It's not very hard at all.

"The defender has the right to be in a position within 3 (feet) the boundary line of the thrower" is correct in all parallel teammate throwin situations, likely, or unlikely.

"The defense of the throwin has the right to stand next to the thrower" is incorrect in all throwin situations, likely, or unlikely

I will go around and tell everyone, "Billy who wears a belt says so" and that will make everyone say, "He's right."

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.
