The dotted line wouldn't apply at this time because the ball was already inbounded and had crossed that temporary barrier. So we would have reverted to using the normal OOB line.
At least that is how I read Chuck's original play. B1 is inbounds in the frontcourt and throws an errant pass which is heading OOB.

That wasn't my point. I was saying that if there wasn't at least three feet of clearance on the sideline, you shouldn't penalize a player in that situation for being on the court walking if they are within three feet of the barrier. My reasoning is that we agree three feet of clearance is proper for the playing of the game.
