If you are three feet inside the line and get pushed out, that's a foul in almost any league. If you get bumped when you are right next to the line, almost always OOB.

This is even by rule. If there is not enough space for the offenive player to get around the defensive player, the offensive player bears greater responsibility for the contact. Most officials I know interpret this to mean OOB rather than a PC foul (unless the contact is severe).
Let me know if I have mistated anything. (Like I should have any doubt about being corrected if I'm wrong)

Mike,
When the dribbler gets past the defender, just inside the line, and very little contact puts them outa bounds, is when I hafta ask myself, "What now ?". But from now on, I am gonna call the dribbler out (as I do most of the time), and tell them, and their coaches, that if they have any problem with that then they should go to the clinics of CoachB and Hawks Coach.
That should take care of any problem.
