This has been pretty well answered, but for my own benefit mostly I'm gonna chip in my $0.02. I'm sure somebody will check me if I've missed something here.
There are no pivot foot restrictions or traveling rule restrictions during a throw-in. As long as the thrower keeps one foot on or over (meaning he can jump up and down any number of times) the spot, he's okay. The rules do not specify which foot, or that it has to be the same foot for the entire throw-in. Conceivably he could move quite a distance if he were to move left until his right foot was at the left edge of the 3 foot area, then back to his right until his left foot was at the right edge of the three foot area. Here are the relevant rules from the FED book: 4-41-6 The designated throw-in spot is 3 feet wide with no depth limitation and is established by the official prior to putting the ball at the thrower's disposal. NOTE: The thrower must keep one foot on or over the spot until the ball is released. Pivot-foot restrictions and the traveling rule are not in effect for a throw-in. 9-2 A player shall not violate the following provisions governing the throw-in. The thrower shall not: 1 ... Leave the designated throw-in spot until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass. As for the mechanics, I was not able to locate a reference. However signals 2, 21, 25, and 26 seem to cover it. Mick, Camron, you folks have an officials manual reference for this?

The mechanic I have used a time or two (especially in November and December) is two hands over the head clutching an imaginary ball, and then throwing the imaginary ball forward. Then you turn to the player and say, "Did you play soccer this fall?"

Hey basketball committee!
The best thing about the soccer substitutions is that the incoming player must be in the proper position to enter (or have checked in with the scorer/4th official) PRIOR to the ball becoming dead which creates that substitution opportunity.
This speeds up the game quite a bit and should be employed in basketball too. |
