Not according to my high school coach. When he was teaching us our full court zone press, he would have us put a foot on the sideline to insure that we didn't give our opponent even a slight chance of dribbling past us up the sideline. I taught the same technique to my middle school team when I coached.

Of course, high school was over forty-five years ago, and I stopped coaching about fifteen years ago, and the rules have changed.
