Clay, your situation sounds like a T to me
The whole idea here is that the offensive player should not have gained an advantage by going out of bounds. If they are goind around a legitimate defensive player and running out of bounds, coming out on the other side of the lane to get a free 3 point attempt, that is exactly what the rule is meant to prevent. In the case as you described, that should have been a Technical foul, not a violation.
