If A2 is slightly out of bounds,(I know you can't be slightly out of bounds. By using the term "slightly", I mean the player's intent was not to run out of bounds to go around the screen, they just happened to step out of bounds by mistake, a foot on the line or something similiar) then I let play continue without a penalty. However, if the player clearly runs out of bounds, using the out of bounds area to his/her advantage, then I call a T.
On a play like that, I have to make a judgement call as to what I think the players intent was. That is not always easy and I'm not right all of the time. However, I do my best and live with the out come. I don't worry about players, coaches, fans or what my sweet wife thinks. Officiating is a hard job. Most won't even attempt it. Of those who do, few stick with it.
