Throw In Rule?

[refnrev]

I worked with a man on a few occasions who called "bad" throws because he said the thrower was too far from the line. He told the player he had to be a yard from the touch? Is this right? If it is, what's the reference? I don't remember this from anywhere?

Law 15 — The Throw-In

15.1 LOCATION OF THROW-IN
Although the throw-in is to be taken "from the point where [the ball] crossed the touch line," this requirement is satisfied if the restart occurs within approximately one yard (one meter) of this location, farther upfield or downfield or back from the touch line. A throw-in taken beyond this limit is an infringement of Law 15.

No, NFHS does not have such a useless restriction.
With the 10' instead of 3' space outside the lines; the thrower won't be hidden amongst others standing 37" from the touchline.

Sorry, you didn't specify that you were after NFHS.

For NFHS, 15-1-2 is the relevant rule.
"The ball shall be thrown in any direction from the point where it crossed the touchline ..."

Those are the exact same words used in FIFA's The Laws of the Game. The NFHS does not provide a clarification of their meaning--the USSF does. In the absence of such from the NFHS, should we make up our own definition or go with what the USSF wrote? I believe that it makes better sense to do the latter.

Why? Who do you think wrote those words first? The NFHS obviously made a concious decision to use the same wording. That tells me that they wanted their rule to be the same.

OR, does the absence of the restriction (and others) mean that the NFHS thought it unnecessary?

If they copy and paste a rule, it seems like a decision if some is removed.

My belief is that if one copies and pastes the words of another, then one must accept the intent and meaning of the original author.

Otherwise one should write his/her own words.

Does that apply to your copy of my words in your post?
