OK you college guys, what's the rule and interpretation of this call?
Does a coaching box violation (as stated by the announcers) warning (no free throws taken) result in a loss of possession?
Does the college rule differ from the high school rule where is high school player is only out of bounds if they touch an "object," not a "person", who is out of bounds?
To be out of bounds, a player must touch the floor, or some object, on or outside a boundary line. People are not considered to be objects, so if a player inadvertently touches someone who is out of bounds (another player, a photographer, a coach, an official, etc.), without gaining an advantage, is not considered an out of bounds violation.
Or, most likely, maybe because the touch wasn't inadvertent (although from the player's perspective, it was inadvertent)?
It appeared that he coach was actually out of bounds (one foot out, one foot in).
