Ruling?
If there is less than three feet of clearance, then there should be a dotted, marked line on the court for inbounding. If there was in this instance, or if there should have been, and A1 was on the outside of this line, then you could make a case that he was really OOB at the time. However, if there was at least three feet of clearance, no slack, since you would rule there was sufficient space to run an inbound play. If there is , then there's more than enough room for A1 to walk truly OOB.

There - was that convoluted enough, or should I repost it in metric?
