A ruling from Art Hyland (NCAA) was recently announced:

Screening Recently, there have been several questions regarding players setting screens with one foot out of bounds. Since this situation is not covered by the present rules, please see the Play Situation below. Play Situation: Team A is inbounding the ball after a made basket by Team B. A1 is attempting to inbound the ball along the end line and B1 is attempting to pressure the throw-in by standing near the end line in front of A1. A2 sets a screen 10 feet to the side of B1 with one foot on the end line and one foot inbounds. A1, while out of bounds, runs with the ball parallel to the end line while still out of bounds. B1 continues to pressure A1’s attempt to inbound the ball and moves with A1 without breaking the plane of the end line. B1 does not see the screen set by A2 and crashes into A2. Ruling: Even though A2 may have complied with all other screening rules, A2 should be charged with a personal foul because A2 had a foot on the end line and may not establish or maintain a legal screen while out of bounds. Rule 4-34 and 10-1.17. Note- Rule 4-17.1 also requires the defense to establish and maintain position inbounds on the playing court to be in legal guarding position.
