AP Throw-in or Not (Fed rules)

[APG]

A kicked ball is a violation. The first instance in which a team breaks the throw-in plane illegally is a warning. At least that's how I interpret NFHS to view the play even though you'll find breaking the plane to be under rule 9, throw-in violations. Wouldn't be the first time an interpretation didn't vibe with the rule as written. We talked about this when the interpretation I quoted came out.

What's the penalty for breaking the plane? A warning (and continue with the current throw-in).

That's why there's a different ruling in the two case plays.
