MTD, I agree with you 100%. They should either eliminate the word to read "if a player goes out of bounds and is the first to touch the ball" or specifically state that they mean a player has to go out of bounds on purpose. They should also make a casebook play for this. In most of our meetings the example of someone using a double-screen and going out of bounds then catching to shoot was used. Yeah, yeah, we know that but what about the good defensive play that carries the defender out of bounds momentarily? IMO not the same thing.
