Last year the rule for running out of bounds was a T, this year it's now a violation. I see players all the time on TV (mostly NCAA, not NBA) violating this rule and not being called.
Is this rule not being enforced as "not that important", or are these officials just blind.

Or maybe the NCAA rule is different?

Do you need to use this as a preventive officiating rule? By just telling these players to "stay in bounds" and then not calling it?

I think you're seeing the rule too strictly. I'm not sure but it sounds as though you are thinking that the violation is for any time any player sets foot out of bounds. A dribbler can step on or over the sideline, and although there will be an oob call, there won't be a "going out of bounds" violation. Someone defending the dribbler might step a quarter inch on the sideline as they run down the court together, and I certainly wouldn't call it. A player can dive or leap oob to save a ball back in, and then land out of bounds and there's no violation. A player's momentum in the normal play can carry her out of bounds and there's no violation.
The violation is for using the oob area to gain an advantage, such as going around a screen, or shaking a defender.

Dose offensive advantage need to be emphasized on this violation? When the player runs out, dose the planters foot need to be inches from the line to call this, but then let it go if there is room to run through?

I have no idea what this means.
