the answer is false, reference case 7.6.2. the player may move backwards or forwards within a 3 foot wide designated area. the player may also move laterally if at least one foot is kept on or over the designated area until the bal is released.

I interpret "A1 moves horizontally" as A1 moving parallel to the OOB line. If this is the case then I would say that the answer is true. If you have 3 feet and I'm assuming the player is handed the ball in the middle of this three foot area (which gives him a foot on each side) then if A1 moves two feet right or left he will be out of the area.

The answer is false.
The thrower has 3 feet in which he can move around. There's nothing that says the thrower gets 18" to either side of the middle of where he is standing. He could be standing on one end of the spot. As long as at least one foot is within 3 feet of where the official designated, he's legal. If he moves over three feet from where he originally was, he's violated. |

I do agree that the player can effectively move a great distance without violating and that the player's initial point may or may not be the center of the spot. Let's say that the throwin spot is precisely at the division line. Thrower moves left such that the edge of his right foot is 2'11.9" from the division line extended. Has he violated? Maybe...up to the official's interpretation of that spot. Now, if the player then moves right such that the trailing edge of his left foot is just 1" on the other size of the division line, that player has most certainly violated. The total size of the box used is greater than 3'. He can't go so far as to have his left foot 3 feet past the division line...that would be a 6' box.
