You are either in bounds or out of bounds. I am trying to understand the whole play.

The OP understood that the player was standing OOB - he was confused as to when he should call the violation based on what another more experienced official told him later on.

It seems pretty obvious that the inbounder had either (a) one foot in bounds and one foot out of bounds, or (b) both feet on the boundary line such that each foot was touching bout inbounds and out of bounds simultaneously.

And, that while the player was out of bounds, s/he violated the throw-in criteria.

If a foot is on the boundary line (not over it) during the throw in, is there a violation?

Okay. I was just making sure because my question in post #4 seems to have generated some unnecessary responses.

You've been awfully nitpicky and unnecessarily crabby lately. Maybe try a nap.

It depends on whether you define "line" as the 2" (or 10" or 36" ..) "paint" on the floor, or the geometrical boundary between IB and OOB.

The entirety of any paint is OOB; the entirety of the area inside the paint is IB

Don't be an idiot. You know what the OP meant.

Settle down, Keyboard Warrior.

Just as clarification, the violation occurs immediately when the throw in is released?

Yes.

It depends. If the inbounder never makes it completely OOB, then the violation happens when the throw-in is released. If the inbounder makes it OOB, and then steps bask so s/he is touching inbounds, that's when the violation happens.
