I respect that you have that conviction. What do you use for a signal? Have you ever warned kids who do it, in the hopes of nipping it in the bud?

I've called it once, on the sideline, when the offensive player was caught in a trap. He threw the ball around the trap, then ran out of bounds to get around the trap before coming back in to retrieve the ball.
Before the rule change, I saw a player running down the sideline execute a play that would now be illegal (and I'd call it). As he as approaching a defender with great position along the sideline, he bounced the ball slightly inwards towards the center court (just enough to get the ball around the defender). He then ran OOB around that defender before coming back in bounds and retrieving the ball.
