All I can do is ask you to re-read my post that you quoted. If the defender is not displaced or disadvantaged, it can't be a foul on the dribbler. If the defender is legally in the path of the dribbler, it can't be a blocking foul on the defender. If the ball never touched OOB, and the "dribbler" was not dribbling when she stepped OOB, then the ball can't be called OOB.

It doesn't matter if there's one foot or one inch of space on the sideline. If all of the above statements are true (and it sounds to me from Sven's post that they are), then you have no call to make. If you disagree, you disagree.

I'm running out of pennies now. I think that really was my last 2 cents. . .

Chuck
EXACTLY!!!!

I agree with each and every thing Chuck has stated.

Clearly not a PC foul since it sounds like the contact was no more than a glancing blow.
Clearly not OOB since A1 did not have player control when A1 was OOB.

Clearly not a block since B1 was in a legal guarding position.

My ruling: That's Basketball!
