Team A on a spot throw in..

A. Foot touches the out of bounds line

B Foot touches line and court

C Foot touches only Court


Obviously C is a violation.
I have heard the rational that the line is out of bounds so A nd B are legal.... This seems to be against the spirit of the out of bounds throw in. thoughts....

thanks in advance

How is A against the intent?

The rules state that the INSIDE edge of the line is the boundary, so the ENTIRE line on a throw-in is OOB.
