Words Matter ...

"To oneself without crossing the boundary"?

Crossing the (plane of the) boundary line, or crossing the boundary line and stepping inbounds?

Not the same. Words matter.

A player is inbounding the ball and a parent yells, "He's stepping on the boundary line". Officials often want to sound the whistle, stop the game, and say, "The player can step on the line, but not over the line onto the court".
