Violation for Voluntarily Running Out of Bounds

Because you want to keep progressing, and you were instructed not to call it to the letter of the rule. Same reason you don't call three seconds everytime you see a player in the paint for three seconds.

Threes seconds, traveling, carrying, BI/GT, or any other number of things that are mostly called when they are obvious.

Peace

I've never called this, nor the "excessive elbows" violation. I just hope I remember to call these when I see them.

I was already taking that concept into account.

I've called it...maybe once every couple of years. I see it a lot more often, maybe once every couple of games, sometimes 2-3 times in the same game. When do I call it? I call it when the person who does it gets an immediate advantage from doing so...like being passed the ball for an open shot when they pop back inbounds on the other side.

Once, as the lead, I had a player almost run into me going around a screen. It surprised me, so I figured I'd call the violation the next time down. After a foul, and a switch, my partner was the lead for that team's next possession, and sure enough, the player almost slams into my partner, who calls the violation. We hadn't even talked about the play. The Vulcan mind meld that we did in our pregame carried over into the game.
