Where he stepped OOB....don't have my book with me, but look up OOB violations. The spot is where the ball goes OOB by touching the player who is OOB. Oh, perhaps you wanted to relate it to a throwin violation......doesn't work because the throwin in only required to legally touch or be legally touched by a player inbounds OR out of bounds. The key is to understand that being legally touched is not referring to the location of the touch, just the manner of the touch. A "kick" is not a legal touch while catching it is. But then, the player is OOB and has violated that rule.
