From The Mythbusters Files ...

A player inbounding the ball may step on, but not over the line. During a designated spot throwin, the player inbounding the ball must keep one foot on or over the three-foot wide designated spot. An inbounding player is allowed to jump or move one or both feet. A player inbounding the ball may move backward as far as the five-second time limit or space allows. If player moves outside the three-foot wide designated spot it is a throwin violation, not traveling. In gymnasiums with limited space outside the sidelines and endlines, a defensive player may be asked to step back no more than three feet. A player inbounding the ball may “dribble” the ball on the out-of-bounds area prior to making a throwin. After a goal, or awarded goal, the team not credited with the score shall make the throw-in from any point outside the end line. A team retains this “run the endline” privilege if a timeout is called during the dead ball period after the goal. Any player of the team may make a direct throw-in, or may pass the ball along the end line to a teammate outside the boundary line.

The inbounding player does not have a plane restriction, but has five seconds to release the ball and it must come directly onto the court. The ball can always be passed into the backcourt during a throwin. This situation is not a backcourt violation.

What do you think you are missing?

It seems that you're now missing a misconception that you used to have. That's good.

Actually, he can't go back further than the wall.

Fixed it for you.

Now, what if the inbounds spot is directly in front of a doorway or other opening in the wall? Can the inbounder go through the opening out into the hallway?

There's nothing in the rulebook that forbids the use of a wrecking ball.

(Or is it "rec-ing ball?")

I started to say "yes," then I hit the book, thinking that there may be something under "visual confines." I can't find any such thing under 10-3.
