Widespread to me covered most of the state of CA and several of the NCAA games that I saw on TV. PAC-10, WAC, WCC, etc.
It seems that many of the conference assignors were unclear on exactly what the NCAA committee wanted. Some that I know of were instucting their officials to call a violation if the player stepped out while going for a loose ball near the sideline and then that player was the first to touch the ball inbounds. I have spoken with quite a few NCAA officials who were told just that. Therefore, I chalk this up to some kinks due to the first year of the rule being in use, and they should get worked out over the next couple of seasons.
What chuck said seems to come closest to my thoughts on the correct interp. If it was a T previously, now it is a violation. If it was legal previously, it is still legal.
Although, the NCAA left the T in the book presumably to cover cases in which the player deceptively leaves the court.
I suspect that the NFHS will do the same.
