Saving the ball, substitutions, and throw-ins I understand, but what other legal reason would a player have to be out-of-bounds during a live ball?
Perhaps being out of bounds without a legitimate reason is illegal because a player can use the boundary to his advantage to avoid defenders. If a player cannot go out of bounds during play, or guard another player from out of bounds (drawing a charge from OOB is inpossible, because the rule says 2 feet on the floor, inbounds, facing an opponent, to establish LGP), then a player cannot set a screen out of bounds, not to mention setting a screen with contact.
