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.

Did he nail a three? Did he gain any advantage? Coach I skipped on the block because it didnt affect the play. Ok coach we are moving on. Or hey just say ok and keep refereeing. I think you did the right thing. If I have a player run out I warn them to stay in bounds. If they get a wide open 3 I call out of bounds on them. Coach asks I say it is a T but I dont want to call it. They normally let me move on.
