Yep. Championship game of a Varsity tournament. Less than a minute left, team A is down by 3. Ball is at the point, and their shooter uses a baseline screen, but enters OOB (had to - the screener left no room IB) at about the foul lane line extended. He OOB path takes him right through the key, had it extended OOB, plus another foot or two, which is right in front of me, as L. His defender was hesitant to follow him OOB, but did eventually. Shooter goes to behind the arc, receives a pass (totally open from the defender's hesitation to go OOB), and as soon as the player catches the pass, I've got a whistle for a T.
