LGP must be established with both feet down in bounds. Putting a foot out of bounds would eliminate LGP. In general, this is interpreted to mean a player with a foot out of bounds is not in legal position and, even if he's standing still (thus not normally requiring LGP), he is still at risk of a blocking foul. This would be clearer if the rule makers would add the provision to the screening rules.
The offense could still commit a foul here (pushing or holding, for example), but probably not a charging foul.
