I didn't add anything to Camron Rust's play other then to speculate on the type of foul. He didn't state such, so, not being a mind reader, I gave answers for all three type of possible fouls, intentional, flagrant, or neither intentional nor flagrant. Bottom line was to call the out of bounds, it came first, regardless of when the whistle sounded, and regardless of any possible subsequent foul.

Agree with you, as do points of emphasis published over six different years. However a twenty-three year old interpretation seems to disagree with both of us.
