You know, after reading this line of postings as well as the "degenerated" one...and after re reading rule 10-6-2 which I will paraphrase here, says that if there isn't sufficient room for the dribbler to pass between the boundary that the responsibility for contact lies with the dribbler....with all that said why would you teach the foot on the boundary anyway...because a good coach who's team is being pressed will just have his player hand or toss the ball to the defender and oops sorry you are out of bounds...we get the ball at this spot closer to the half court line, and hey look the 10 second count will start again also....so really the foot on the boundary is not really that effective of a tactic if the other team is actually paying attention...next to the boundary yes...but otherwise he is just oob....
