Hmmm, not sure I agree with this. At any given moment a player is either in bounds or oob, based on where he/she is touching the floor or last touched the floor. Same with back court/front court and in the key/not in the key. Thus the truism, "you are where you were until you get where you're going" to describe the position of an airborne player.
How about this? There is no way for a defender to legally
"establish himself" out of bounds. If that defender accidentally goes out of bounds in the course of playing defense, he is obligated to immediately return in bounds.
