Snip

Now I'm thinking about the inbounder that steps over the line, but their other foot is still on the floor OOB. I suspect there is something about breaking the plane, but will have to look in the book later. Thoughts?
No, there is no plane violation to this. 9.2.5 RB states that the ball can not be “Carried Onto” the court. In the CB it states “steps through the plane of the boundry line ‘And Touches’ the court.” You are not on the court until you touch it.

If someone has a copy of the Simplified and Illustrated I believe that there is a illustration that shows that there is no violation.
