Going out of bounds: 9-3

Is there a past interp I am missing, or is just applying the judgement that contact makes it "authorized"? Can someone direct me to the correct place?

Had a coach make a big deal about it this weekend.

What would you do in these two situations?
1. A1 is holding the ball high looking to pass when B1 bellys up with a little
incidental contact that causes A1 to take a step (or 2) with his pivot
foot?
2. B5 places his hand on the hip of post player A5 who does not have the
ball. A5 then receives a pass and B5 continues to keep his hand on the
hip of A5.

1-DOG
2-I would say hands...if he controls the ball or slows the player I am ready to call a foul depending on how easily he scores...

In 1, I don't think it's during a throw-in.

1: It is not incidental if B1 causes the travel. FOUL.

2: Not relevant to the OP, but talk him out of it or foul.

The key to the OP is I deemed it incidental, so what happens next.

I understand that each official may have a slightly difference tolerance for IC.
