What about a loose shoelace? A piece of athletic tape that has come unraveled?

Would anyone consider this different than the hair situation? This could apply not just for OOB, but potential violations -- e.g. a player in a marked lane space has an untied shoelace outside of the marked lane spaces. How would people handle these, assuming that it wasn't caught and corrected during a dead ball.

With video being used at the higher levels, its only a matter of time until something like this has to be ruled on.

Whether or not it gets caught in real time is a separate issue.
