It's a T. The advantage gained was that he used the touch of the board to keep from getting an out of bounds violation.


Try this one, which is slightly more conceivable. A1 throws an errant pass which is headed out of bounds behind the board. A2 goes up in an attempt to save it and touches the back of the board just before touching the ball. Is this a violation?
