Question Number: 19437Law 15 - Throw In 6/17/2008Roc Henry of , quebec canada asks...a coach got mad at me the other day during a throw-in because the thrower "twisted his body"
theres no such law right? same thing goes with spinning the ball on a throw too i assume Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol As long as the ball came from behind and over the head (not around to the side) it has been delivered correctly. There is no prohibition against spin on the ball. Another Myth of the Game that refuses to die.

View Referee Gary Voshol profileAnswer provided by Referee Michelle Maloney The player must be facing the field with his body, twisted matters not at all. The ball must come from behind and over his head, using all hands available, from the spot where the ball left the field, and with both feet on or behind the touchline. As usual, the coaches have failed to consult their Laws booklet or to have it interpreted for them.

View Referee Michelle Maloney profileAnswer provided by Referee Steve Montanino SOME Canadians, in my experience, are very picky when it comes to law 15. Just follow the law as it is and tune out the coach, twisting of the body is not prohibited.
