Stacking Players

[cmcramer]

Let's say on a throw-in at the offense's own end line, four offensive players stack up tight to each other chest to back, all facing the end line, and all standing about 4-5-6-7 feet from end line.

Does a defensive player have the 'right' to stand between? Can defense ask Ref to allow him 'in' the stack?

Or is it Art. 3. Every player shall be entitled to a spot on the playing court, provided that such player gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent. (Exception:Rule 4-35.7)

Seems like I have read this Q&A before here....sorry, but I can't find it. Thank you for your responses!
