This is in line with the "swinging elbows not hitting anyone" violation. It was rarely called because refs were reluctant to call a T for this.

Here is what I don't understand about this new rule though....
Sitch--Team A on offense, A2 is passing to A1 as A1 is coming off of a screen in the lane. B1, to avoid the screen, runs OOB by let's say, 3 feet. B1 then comes back in-bounds and:
A) steals the ball as the pass is going to A1, whom he was guarding;
B) A1 receives the pass and B1 continues to guard A1 after returning in-bounds.
What does everyone have in these two sitches?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
Situation A is not propbable nor much of an advantage. If there is a screen in the lane, then either A1 also went OOB around the screen (which should kill the play first) or B1 took a less effective path.
If A1 had gone on the inbounds side of the screener, B1's best path would have been that direction too. That path can't be legally cut off since any other A player stepping into that path would be guilty of a block if there is contact with B1. If B1 goes OOB, he's chosen a longer path to A1.
