That's the best reasoning I've heard for these rulings. And yet, I still have never seen either called - the going OOB during a teammate's shot, or swinging elbows, by a teammate. Of course, neither happens very often, which contributes to the rarity of such calls.

With a shot in progress, what possible benefit could a teammate of the shooter be seeking to go OOB on purpose? I'd assert that they are only taking themselves out of any possible useful position when a shot in in the air.

Going around a defender trying to get inside position for a possible rebound.

I'm just envisioning that it will take too long to make it to a viable position if they have to go that far behind the backboard to go around a defender and get back in front of the board for a decent rebounding position.

Just said that was the idea, not that it was a good idea.
