Rules at home, I'm at work, but it IS a throw in violation if the ball, on a throw in, enters the basket...correct? (Unless tipped by a player..)

7) Move... but keep one foot over spot

Move, left or right, and keep one foot on or over the 3-foot wide throw-in spot until the ball is released; move backwards as far as he/she may wish.

You bring up a likely misnomer in the rules. Is it correct that, whereas we call it a "designated spot throwin" (4-42-6 and NOTE), that spot is actually an "area" that is three feet wide? Casebook 9.1.2A seems to be saying the same thing while using the words "spot" and "area" interchangeably.

So, shucks, a player with long legs can actually have about nine feet to stay totally within and still be legal. That's quite a "spot"!

Is that correct?

[Rob1968]

Correct, see 4-42-6, and Note, top pf p.38
