Officials must enforce the rule that is already in place. It is a technical foul."

Can't get written any clearer than that!
I think there's something wrong with me... this is twice today I have disagreed with Jurassic... it's going to be a long evening.

The POE mentions specifically unauthorized reasons such as getting around a screen. So do the casebook rules of 10-3. Dribbling OOB is not mentioned in 10-3 or in this new POE.

Dribbling OOB is specifically mentioned in 9-3 Note. I'm in the violation court and no "T."

I can see this happening the way described in the original situation where the dribbler saw the upcoming defender and then stepped out of bounds ... but more likely I can see the same result when the dribbler DOES NOT SEE THE DEFENDER but still steps OOB without forethought. Should I not have the same whistle? Namely: An illegal block is comming... no time and no distance... surprize the defender is in your path... only available path because of your footwork is OOB... no contact, ball one way and dribbler OOB... T? Sorry, turnover.
