May The Force Be With You ...

Force out was a real NBA rule back in ancient times.

1974-75: Force out rule is clarified as incidental contact near a boundary line, which causes a player to commit a violation or go out of bounds, and neither team is responsible for the action. The offensive team retains possession.

1976-77 Force out eliminated. If a player is forced out of bounds, it will either be a foul on the defender or an offensive violation.

I think that I remember this being a rule back when I was in high school.

I barely stayed eligible to play, we had to pass two of the three classes we took: huntin', gruntin', and cave painting.
