Does that mean that we have to watch and be sure that the "athlete" who throws the ball after doing a full gainer with a half nelson lands within three feet of the line? If he doesn't, do we just deduct style points, or call a foul throw and give it to the other team?
Seriously, is the issue how close to the line the thrower is; as opposed to the usual how close to the spot where it went out?
The only time that I can see the relevance for being this picky is if the ball went into touch in front of the team area, and you do not want the player to take the throw-in from behind and over the entire team (or from behind and over the fourth official).
