This is a tough call Dog. You have to look at why the rule was put in there in the first place. Usually, your first instinct is correct. Just because this is never called doesn't mean that it should never be called. There would be no reason for the rule. Not being there, I can't comment on your call. Just note that usually when I look back on the calls I question in my mind, instinct takes over and the rules interpretation at the instant I hit the whistle are usually correct. Especially in the type of call you made here. I don't know if that makes any sense or not, but if the player gained an advantage by going out of bounds, a T was warranted. That is why the rule was put in there.
It would be tough, as Mick suggests, for the C to get deeper on the endline!
