Defending at a throw-in (2)

Basically all players (within reach of the thrower) should be marked, and all defenders should stay man-to-man marking their own opponent until the play moves on.

So for example in the diagram 1, defenders (X1), X2) and (X3) stay with attackers (9), (10) and (11), while (11) remains goal side of thrower (6).

To illustrate the point:
In the diagram (6) takes the throw-in (11) moves towards (6) so X1 follows.
(6) then throws the ball above and beyond both of them, where attacker (9) has already set-off anticipating the move.
(X2) must follow (9), while (X3) will backtrack keeping tabs on (10) while at the same time adapting a more defensive position.
