Question: According to the article 17.2.6 the player making the throw-in, may moves freely behind the endline? in any direction,speed or distance? is restricted by any extention of the restricted area?
I have this discution for a long time with some friend referees so i wait for your answer with anxiety
I hope you can understand my poor english thanks!Answer: The player making the throw-in may step back from the boundary line, or may move parallel to the boundary line in one or both directions for a distance of no more than approximately one metre. If the throw-in is at an endline following a successful final free throw or a field goal, the thrower-in may move along that endline for any distance in either direction, provided the throw-in is released before five seconds has passed. He may even pass the ball to a teammate who is also out-of-bounds at that endline, provided no more than five seconds passes before the final inbound pass is made.
