This is one rule I would like to see changed, to make it a violation to step OOB rather than a T. I think the T makes it so extreme that refs generally will allow players to step around screens OOB and pop open for easy 2 with no T. And when you consider the other infractions that a T is issued for, it seems that the punishment here far outweighs the offense. It would be much better to make that a turnover rather than a T, and refs would be more inclined to call it.
