Détente ...

100% correct for parallel teammates. "Within 3 (feet) the boundary line of the thrower" (which I've known all along).

That's the first time you stated it in that manner, which is not the same as...

Play ???

What play is that? Maybe I'll join the "we" and agree, or maybe I won't agree.

Again, this is what I'm disagreeing with: "The defense of the throwin has the right to stand next to the thrower".

But, Thanks For Asking ...

I made up the three case plays mentioned toward the end of this thread so we could discuss three different scenarios regarding this "supposed" rule. I apologize if I confused anybody. I was not...

We can agree on that (which is why I had several Forum members help me edit the article, and no, I'm not sharing the publication fee with everybody).

Let's Keep It Simple ...

7.6.5 SITUATION states "within 3 feet of it", meaning within three feet of the boundary line, not within three feet of the thrower.

The entire line of inbounds players are three feet away from the...

Rulebook Citation ...

Your interpretation from some time ago may be difficult to find, so I'll just settle on the rule reference as it exists in the NFHS Rulebook today.
