Question: Doesn't the book also say that you should notify the defense?

I tell the inbounder, and then give a signal for all to see (including the videotape)
|
|

"Just this spot" while pointing to the floor or "You have the whole end line" while gesturing back and forth along the end line.
I can't remember the last time I've had someone move from where they started either legally or illegally. Even rarer is the OOB pass to another thrower. I've seen it maybe twice. |

I have observed that the privilege of "running the endline" is grossly under-utilized by players. Players are so conditioned to the spot throw-in that they dare not venture to do otherwise for fear of causing a turnover.

Camera Don't Lie ...
What? Do you mean to say that some of our games are videotaped?

Perpetuate A Myth ...
I agree that saying "Don't move" might not, and probably, will not, lead to any problems, but why say something that isn't true (it's positively, absolutely, not true), and perpetuates a myth?

"On the spot", accompanied with the visual signal pointing to the floor.
"You can run", accompanied with the visual signal indicating so. Never had a problem with either and don't think either is coaching or confusing. |
|

"You're on a spot." - with appropriate point to the floor.
"You have the entire endline." - with approprate hand signal. A few nights ago, the player's response, with a grin, "Thanks. I probably won't need it." (There was no defensive pressure.)

I say the same thing when there is no pressure.

And again, not sure what myth it perpetuates, because people think you travel on a throw-in. It is not assumed it is a travel because a player with the ball moves. It is thought to be a travel because they take steps with their feet. So I am not so sure what myth is perpetuated? They only want to know that they can or cannot run the end line. They do not understand the nuances of the rule to begin with. Peace

Why Can't He Move ???
... That the inbounder can't move. Because he can, in a lot of different ways, and directions. Up (jump). Down (gravity after jumping). Left (to a degree). Right (to a degree). Forward (very limited). Backward (limited to time, and setting). Move both feet in place (the travel that isn't a travel). Etc. So why say that he can't move?
Why say something that is 100% wrong, dead wrong, when several other alternatives (see above posts, lots of posts, lots of alternatives) can be easily stated that are all 100% correct.
