Wow, I've just been reading and trying to understand that rule better. I've seen some plays run by teams under the basket where a player goes out of bounds by design. I can not remember ever seeing this called in all the games I've seen or coached in grammer school and HS, but I'm wondering now if it is simply misunderstood or under-called.
I was having a discussion with some fellow coaches and I was telling them that, having just read the rules and passing the officials test, it is illegal to move OOB on purpose. Of course they told me I was nuts and there was no such rule. That's the main reason I've been gathering information on this rule.
Does anyone know if this rule applies to the defense also? In other words if someone sets a pick with one foot in bounds and the other OOB, would that be leagal or not?
