(I know I'm recycling, but I thought it was worth asking again.)
This is one I actually know. However, in a small way I disagree with the casebook. It says specifically people are not considered objects, and to be considered OOB the ball or player must touch the floor or some object. So, therefore as long as the touching was inadvertant and there is no advantage gained, there is no violation.

But, I've always considered coaches objects...
With a little more work, they may not object as much.
