A1 was OOB along the endline (near the corner) when this started. Are you sure A1 didn't cut the corner even just a little? That would briefly put A1 inbounds and allow the violation call for leaving the court.

Also, A1's position was legally OOB on the endline. There was no authorized reason to be OOB on the sideline. I'd be inclined argue (philosophically, not necessarily by the letter of the rule) that the two areas were distinct as she went from OOB/endline (for an authorized reason) to OOB/sideline and that A1 left an authorized area to an unauthorized area.

Stll, I think the T is probably the right call as this appears the be a deliberate and decpetive use of the OOB area.
