The player (or ball) cannot touch the endline. The lines are considered to be or zero thickness. that is, if you are out of bounds, the line is part of the court, if your are on the court, the lines are OOB.

This other Mark is going to have to disagree with you, Oz.
Maybe things are different with the whole metric system
but in NF and NCAA rules, the inside (courtside) edge of the line is what counts - specifically the plane formed at the boundary.
The easy way to remember this is to remember that if a court has the 8 inch "band" of paint, the player is allowed to stand on that for a throw-in, a regular line is no different.
