As I say every time when this topic comes up...
A foot on the sideline only has one effect: that player does not have legal guarding position. That player may still be the victim of a player control foul. All they lose by stepping on the line is the right to be moving laterally or obliquely and the right to verticality. A stationary player without LGP can still be fouled.
Imagine the nightmare if it were open season for contact on any player that happened to be OOB.
