10-6-7: A dribbler shall not attempt to dribble between two opponents or between an opponent and a boundary, unless the space is such as to provide a reasonable chance for him/her to go through without contact.

This, to me, supports the idea that, when in doubt, it was not a blocking foul.

or not. Defender can be standing with his back to the dribbler, hopping on one foot, talking to his mom in the bleachers. Dribbler tries to go around him, bumps him, and steps out of bounds. The call is out of bounds.

Just a reminder...

LGP cannot be established if B1 has a foot on or outside the OOB line.
