Help a bunch of coaches with a question on inbounding

What everyone else has said is correct about the spot throw-in.

From a coaching stand point I'd add that one foot on or over the 3 foot spot, can cover a lot of floor without a violation.

What I look for to judge a violation is a step to the side and a crossover and step with the other foot. Unless that initial step was a small one, less than 18 inches, both feet have left the 3 foot space.
