[/B][/QUOTE]If a player is forced out of bounds, you got nuthin'-- unless he delays returning inbounds.

The new rule- R9-3-2- sez that a player can't leave the floor for an "unauthorized" reason. Going OOB because you're forced out isn't an "unauthorized" reason. Ergo, this rule doesn't apply to a force-out.

Similary, R10-3-3 sez it's a T if you delay returning inbounds after legally being OOB. Iow, this rule doesn't apply on a force-out either if the player forced out comes right back in.
