b. No opponent of the thrower-in shall have any part of the body over the inside plane of the boundary line.

he cannot even stick a hand over the line.. nevermind actually jumping out of bounds to block a vew or throw
it should have been a technical foul for unsportsmanlike and not just stopping the play and give them another chance to properly defend it. Especially when you consider how a coach on the bench was leaning forward, waving his arm, etc.. to interfere as well. And players getting up and sitting down... official might have given us a different spot to inbounds from.. and Mulcahy and Pike could have complained to the refs about it even before it happened. Force thre refs to make a decision.. either ignore teh rule and infraction and give us a 5 second rule turnover or follow the rule and do something about the infraction.
It was Penn State.. I found the video.. check the tall white player looking to sit down but teh coach next to him puts his hand behind his back imploring him to go to the end of the bench... also.. during teh inbounds teh assistant closest to head coach leans far forward with a clipboard in his hand... all this while the defender jumps out of bounds after waving out of bounds, well over the line. The official has a clear view and does nothing... none of them do.. at a home game for Rutgers... that probably decides an NCAA bid or not. We win that game, barely.. and wind a 1st round B10 Tourney game and go on to NCAA First Four where ND beats us somehow.
