OOB without authorization?

1)What has that got to do with anything? It's completely irrelevant.

2)Sigh. What unfair advantage is being gained in this play? What rule is the player trying to circumvent? There's nothing at all to judge on this play because you don't have any rules basis to make a call of any kind. It's that simple. If you can think of a rule that is being broken, post the rule number.

I cited #1 to reason that the game is expected to be played on the court. It seems reasonable to consider other situations concerning IB or OB.
Unfair advantage? I said UNLESS.
Rules - It would be nice if we could ALWAYS go to rules for clarification. There are quite a few calls that could be backed by the rulebook that are never made. In this case though I must agree with you that there is no rules justification to make a call on this play. Rulebook Page 70 in Points of Imphasis states - "As long as the defender abtains legal guarding position while on the court and dontinues to have inbounds STATUS...
This play doesn't refer directly to the play mentioned either but if a defensive player only need have inbound STATUS the same is true of an offensive player, right?
I'm glad I let it go!
