You look at it exactly the same way that the rule book directs you to. We have to judge whether the player leaving the court did so for an unauthorized reason. Nowayinhell setting a screen OOB is an authorized reason to leave the court imo.
Now, maybe you can edjumacate me a little bit further. What exactly IS a "game interrupter"?
It seems to me that every single time a whistle is blown during a game, that game is interrupted. What makes this particular call a "game interrupter" over all of those other calls? Gee, it wouldn't be because you happened to disagree with that call, would it?
