Why? Let's say the player is in the backcourt and there is no pressure. The same conditions as for the palming violation that you would ignore.

Seriously why do you make a big deal out of having a toe on this line and not worry about having one on the FT line while attempting a FT? (Or substitute: a toe on the lane line for more than 3 seconds or barely touching inbounds during a throw-in (or not fully being OOB however one views it) or running the end line in the fc while on offense without the ball and putting half of a foot OOB).

What makes an OOB violation by a player with the ball so much more important in your mind than any other violation?
