Let me see if I can find that anywhere...

17.3.1 The player taking the throw-in shall not:

• Take more than five (5) seconds to release the ball.

• Step into the playing court while having the ball in his hand(s).

• Cause the ball to touch out-of-bounds, after it has been released on the throw-in.

• Touch the ball on the playing court before it has touched another player.

• Cause the ball to enter the basket directly.

• Move from the designated throw-in place behind the boundary line, other than from his team’s endline after a successful field goal or a successful last free throw, laterally in one (1) or in both directions, exceeding a total distance of one (1) m before releasing the ball. He is, however, permitted to move directly back-wards from the boundary line as far as circumstances allow.

Seems like I read this recently...

I don't know that Nick will see your response since you are responding to a post that's more than six months old and I don't think Nick has posted since.

Not that it makes much difference, but isn't that just out of bounds?

It is a throwin violation instead of an out-of-bounds violation. The difference is minor but it is a difference. The difference is where the subsequent throwin will occur. The throwin violation results in a throwin for the other team at the spot of the original throwin. An OOB violation results in a throwin for the other team at the spot where the ball went OOB. That distance between the two points could be quite a bit and would change difficulty of a throwin....maybe the corner or even the sideline vs. just outside the paint.

Just like NFHS, NCAA, and NBA/WNBA.

In FIBA
- not a violation to hit the "inbound" parts of the backboard or the rim, however 24" doesn't reset at the hit-rim situation in here.
- a violation if the ball gets wedged
