Absolutely. I've been taught that if he "participates" in the play, then to flag it. If he comes inbounds, but doesn't draw a defender, doesn't block, doesn't do anything but step inbounds to let him go. But if he draws a defender, blocks, etc. then he will be flagged.
So what are you going to do if he steps OOB's in front of the opposing coach, who knows the rule, and he is screaming at you for IP. It is "his" responsibility to "not go OOB's".
Curious as who told you to only flag it if he "participates"?
