The throw-in is clearly an aggressively long one designed to exploit a defense that is disorganized. A more pro-active move toward the bench area and the target of the throw may have had a positive influence on the defenders choice of action.<br /><br />As for the LOTG (which for us includes the FIFA Interpretations, ATR, Guide to Procedures, Memorandae and Directives), you've hit the nail on the head.
