It reads a player may step on the line but not over.

Does this allow for half the foot to be inbounds and half out of bouns when they are stepping on the line?

If their foot is touching inbounds at all, it's a violation.

Also for you newbies, following a made or awarded score, when the inbounder may pass to a teammate who also is standing OOB on the endline, can the pass be a bounce pass (assuming it bounces only OOB)?

I'm not a newbie, I'm an oldie, so I'm not going to answer this. I'm 99% sure that I know the correct answer, but I can't find a citation. Hopefully a newbie will come up with one.

Happy New Year.

Let me put it this way, the fact that you can't find a citation should tell you something.

The boundary line is entirely OOB.

The inside edge of the boundary line is the line that separates inbounds and OOB.

If you step on the line, you will be touching inbounds and OOB and will have violated.
