"The designated throwi-in spot is 3 feet wide with no depth limitation and is established by the official prior to putting the ball at the thrower's disposal. Note: the thrower must keep one foot on or over the spot until the ball is released. Pivot foot restrictrictions and the traveling rule are not in effect for a throw in."

Thanks for the help in advance.
