In the college meetings I attended, we were told to not call a violation for just a simple touching the boundary line or issues of momentum. We were told to basically consider this just at the NF used it for a Technical foul this past year. So if a player avoided a screen, or just went out of bounds to become undetected then it would be a violation. If you have a loose ball and a player simply touched the out of bounds line and then reestablished themselves in bounds and was the first to touch the ball, that was not how the rule was not suppose to be applied in our discussions in my conferences. Some have disagreed with that, but I never saw any discussions that suggested that was the proper application of the rule. Maybe the NF will clarify in more detail. The NCAA sure did not do that.

Peace
