Do you make this call?

How about as you go down in age groups... say 7th grade or 5th grade.

As described....no. A1's intended path got cut off...even if it was by a teammate. A1 just reacted to the obstacle and the reaction resulting in going OOB.

I have called leaving the court exactly twice....both in deliberate actions that led to direct advantages.
