Absolutely.

Going OOB during normal play and spot throw-ins to gain an advantage is unauthorized. There's rules against it.

You added the part in red to the comment; that's where we disagree. I took the comment as written, without adding anything to it.

Going OOB on the same line during a teammate's non designated spot throw-in is always authorized.

Again, you added the word "always" to the rule.
Now, like Chuck said, where we disagree is which rule or comment trumps the other, or if they might even co-exist. Right now, I'm leaning towards the side that says just going OOB to avoid the screen is unauthorized, period. As far as when to call it, we can make it a delayed violation, kind of like calling the free throw violation on the defense. We can see the player go out, delay our whistle to see if they are a part of the throw-in play, then ignore it if so.
But one thing I know for sure, those high heels look REAL good on you, JR.
