I went to the net and contacted the coordinator of College men's basketball at [email protected] for his interpretation. Here is what he sent me :
" Based on what you have outlined Judgement has to enter into your decision. If you feel he went out of bounds to gain an Advantage then the answer is he is Not legal. But, if it is incidental, in other words, we do not want to split hairs, if his foot is on the line or slightly OOB and it is all part of the play and he did not ,with intent,use the OOB to gain an advantage then we do not have a problem".
I tried to contact Hank Nickols on this one but couldn't get through. I must admit I don't know this particular co-ordinator of officials but I do agree with the above reasoning.
This has been a great post and I believe it's made us all think about this unusual situation.

OK, I agree with that interpretation, however...if you determine it is an advantage, is that a technical foul for leaving the floor or no call.
