According to the note following 4-42-6, the thrower must only keep one foot on or over the designated throw-in spot until the ball is released. Your two citations shed no light on exactly what constitutes this violation. A player who has one foot inbounds and one foot out of bounds is located out of bounds per 4-35, so that isn’t helpful. Similarly, 7-1-1 is of no use if the thrower is in contact with the out of bounds area of the court. I believe that the NFHS rules pertaining to leaving a designated spot and carrying the ball onto the court should be defined clearly in the rules book, not just interpreted in the case book. A play for you: Thrower A1 has the ball in his hands. He loses his balance and falls forward, but is able to keep both of his feet out of bounds and within the designated throw-in spot. As he bends forward he touches the ball to the inbounds area of the court while still holding it and pushes himself back upright. He never releases the ball. Is this a throw-in violation for carrying the ball onto the court? |

Generic Throwins ...
Quote:
Also, keep in mind that not all throwins are designated spot throwins, so try to stay away from the phrase "designated spot" and be more generic in one's thoughts. To me designated spot refers more to side to side movement rather than forward movement.

This is the key citation: 9-2-5: The thrower must not carry the ball onto the court.
