Then are you going to call a violation on A2, when he steps on the baseline under the basket while using a screen?
Or, in the OP, are you going to call the defender for a violation for leaving the court for an unauthorized reason when he steps on the line, inadvertently, while attempting to close the gap between him and the sideline?
