Nobody can get open, A2 runs out of bounds and get open in the corner. A1 gives a ball fake to A2 which helps to free up A3 to receive a pass. True, A2 never got the ball but the advantage is clearly there and that's why I don't think you wait to long to see if an advantage is gained.
IMO, advantage gained= T. No advantage but runs a while OOB= violation.

You're right, but I'd judge more by the screen than by the actual player who goes oob. If B1 is very close to the boundary line, and A1 HAS to step out to get around, even if it's only just on the line, that's a T. If there's no screen, or the screen is under the basket, and A1 just sort of steps on the line without noticing, obviously that's not a T. Another example of "ref the defense".
