I do remember a conversation at a scrimmage style clinic several years ago... after one of us called that for a player simply stepping on the line coming down from a failed attempt at a rebound (player landed on the line and to catch himself took a step out of bounds before recovering his momentum)... According to the reaming this guy took for that call, inadvertently going OOB during action is NOT what this rule is about. This rule is about players, of their own volition, going out of bounds on purpose for whatever reason (usually, as mentioned above, to avoid a screen or to avoid a 3-second call). Simply stepping on the line is nothing.
