I read it as an official who makes OOB calls on a line that isn't his responsibility (i.e. trail official making OOB on the end).

I did that once - but it was on a ball that bounced from a court next to mine - onto my court stopping our game - about 2 feet between sidelines. I saw ball coming and when ball touched floor (on our court) I whistled, pointed, and said "Red".

No one got mad that it wasn't my line.

Whenever this happens, I tell them "Thank you. That was very nice of you to share, but we already have a ball."

OK, that makes sense. I didn't see the word coverages in his post.

I thought it might have been refs who call an OOB violation if the player throwing it in steps over the line before releasing the ball (something I've never seen) or calling OOB if the ball touches the rafters or a rope supporting the basket (something I do).

I had a guy at a MS tournament last weekend who had everything covered. He whistled and kind of did a "goodbye" wave with his arm and then said: "violation white - blue ball" and "foul blue - white shoots or white ball"

I prefer to call it the "look at me" wave.
