My understanding of that rule is that once you have established your "spot," then a player may step with one foot in any direction. If both feet are moving or in motion on a spot throw-in, then it is a violation.

As others have pointed out, that's not correct, Nate. You can do the hokey-pokey during the throw-in, if you want to, as long as you stay within that 3-foot wide designated spot.

That would be funny to see someone complete the Hokey-Pokey within 5 seconds.

I think it was Steven Wright who said, "What if the Hokey-Pokey really is what it's all about?"

You believe wrong. The box is a total 3 feet wide, not 6 feet. The thrower must keep one foot on or over the designated spot.

That is what I meant, a 3 foot wide box. The box has sides that are each 3 feet. Not 3 feet to the left and right of the player.

Since we are all nit-picking, I'd suggest saying a 3-foot wide lane, since a box would only be 3-feet deep. Since you can go back within the lane as far as you wish, a box isn't the right shape, gemoetrically speaking...

Usually a step to the right or left.
