Going out of bounds: 9-3
I cannot find the rule reference (or case play) for not calling a violation when a player goes out of bounds when bumped.
A1 is running the baseline, gets a little incidental contact that causes him to take a step or 2 out of bounds, comes back in and catches the pass. I know this is not a violation, but 9-3-3 just says "A player shall not leave the court for an unauthorized reason".
Is there a past interp I am missing, or is just applying the judgement that contact makes it "authorized"? Can someone direct me to the correct place?
Had a coach make a big deal about it this weekend.
