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".
I not sure I understand.... you *seem* to be making a distinction with a "screen ... under the basket"? where the screen is set on the court has no bearing, right? maybe I'm reading too much into your post...

I'm saying that if B1 (the screener) is well away from the endline, and A1 is running between the screener and the line and a small amount of his shoe touches the line, it's not "going oob to gain an illegal advantage." It's nothing. But if the screener is close enough to the line that the only way around is oob, then it's an illegal advangage, and should be called. And I'm disagreeing with Camron.
