Agree. Wondering though, how do you penalize the defense if they commit this infraction?

That is a good question. But I think the defense penalizes themselves by not being able to cover an offensive player. But having said that the rule was created for an offensive player so they do not go around screens by going out of bounds. I have never seen a defender go deliberately off the court.

It does happen that an offensive player (without the ball . . .) will run out of bounds to get around a defender who is set up on the baseline and that offensive player's defender will follow him/her in the out of bounds path.
