His spot is not on the court, since by rule his location is not inbounds.
I agree that this position is insufficient for a "leaving the court" violation (9-3-3), but I disagree with your reasoning back to having a spot on the court.
The reason a toe on the line not sufficient for the LTC violation is that touching the boundary alone does not constitute
leaving.
It does, however, constitute a player being OOB, and thus denies him a legal position on the court. He is not entitled to that spot, and so liable for any contact.
