I suggest that rookie officials be careful regarding exactly what they say:
Things Officials Should Probably Not Be Saying In A Game
"Don't move”, said to an inbounding player, by an official, before a designated spot throw-in, is another statement that should probably go unsaid. According to the rules, that player can move laterally within a three foot wide area, can jump up, and can move as far back as time, and space, will allow. Better statement: “Designated spot”, while pointing to the spot.

"You can run", "Spot". Those 2 phrases clearly convey what the thrower-in can do, and neither has ever caused confusion in any game I've worked.
Question: Doesn't the book also say that you should notify the defense?
