Content: Exkalybr, I'm wondering how a defender "forces" the dribbler out of bound. If it means the defender came closer and closer to the dribbler, the dribbler could just hold his ground and take a foul. If the defender actually made contact such that the dribbler was forced out, that's a foul. If it was a legal screen, then the dribbler wasnt "forced" ooob at all, and you should have called a T.
Please explain further.

Rainmaker,
I too had trouble deciphering some of the grammar and verbage of the post and the apparent throwback to the old NBA "force out" terminology. However, after reading the post a couple times and making an assumption or two (uh-oh), it sounds to me as if incidental contact occurred and the dribbler left the floor briefly but not in an intentional or voluntary manner. Thus no T. Ouch, headache.

Yea, that was my first assumption. But, I just can't think of any contact that would "force" a player oob and also be "incidental". In fact, when the force-out rule was taken out, wasn't it so that there would always be a foul called in these situations?
