Throw in

I have been told two different stories about this one by two different officials and i want to find out what is right. On a throw that is NOT after a basket i know that the person taking it out cannot run the baseline but how far can they move? Can they just establish a pivot either way or can they take two steps or what?

Another question is the such a thing as a technical foul on a player in the game while the game is goin on or do you just call that an intentional foul?

A spot throw in has a spot 3 feet wide with no restrictions in depth. The thrower must keep one foot on or over that 3 foot area, and there is no piviot foot. A travel is not an option if they leave the area, it's a violation of the throw in.

For the second question you can call an unsporting technical during any live ball, clock running situation. Contact during a live ball is either a common,personal, intentional, or flagrant foul. If it happens during a dead ball it is either a technical or a flagrant technical.
