It must be nice to always work on roomy courts where this never happens.

Roomy courts have got nuthin' to do with nuthin'. If it happens, it happens.
I'm saying that if a player dribbles the ball, and that dribbled ball would have bounced IN-BOUNDS
if the ball hadn't touched a fan who was intruding on the court, then I'd cut my nuts off before I'd give the ball to the other team. The dribbler did
NOT cause the ball to go OOB. The fan
DID. And I ain't penalizing a player for a fan's action. Ever.
That does make it plain enough for you, Jim?
I'm telling you how I would call it. I know how you would call it. We disagree. And that ain't gonna change.
