Just picture the player standing OOB on the sideline at the corner of the court and stepping towards the court but remaining OOB because the foot is on the side of the endline. If the sideline continued past the endline they would have stepped over that extended line.

Because there was no defensive pressure, I let it go but after I thought about it a little, I may have chunked it.
