Maybe slight contact during the pressure. Maybe he/she is being ridden out of bounds. Maybe he/she should have passed or reversed dribble instead of trying to run the sideline.
This happens frequently with Middle School to JV girls.
It's kind of a subtle thing, but you can anticipate it as it's happening.
One associate said that when it's a close call that they like to call "out of bounds", with the ball back to the offense (dribbler), instead of a foul on the defender.
You guys have all seen it.
Thoughts?

Several of us were discussing this very play. We concluded that several of us tend to make the OOB call. I tend to pass on the contact UNLESS the player is bumped out of bounds. A foul is the correct call in this case -- unless the defender had LGP. LGP is rare is girls MS to JV basketball.
