Here's the way I figure it: These defenders right at the oob line are always either leaning forward, or straight up. They NEVER lean back!! So if the toe is on the line, then the whole front of the body must be past the plane, since at best they are straight up. So even a toe slightly over is call for a warning. I can't see any point in letting this go. Except as Hawk's Coach says in the rare case where there's a very skilled in-bounder taking advantage of a less capable defender. And when you call it, be sure everyone hears you clearly as you explain that the next time ANY TEAM MEMBER DOES THIS, it will be a team technical. Not just A1.
