Off-season, off-topic

I disagree. How is this different from a2 being screened along the baseline, then going oob to avoid a collision?

Whether the ball handler or not, going oob to avoid contact with a defender, allowing one to continue dribble or to better defend or receive a pass is advantage gained by going oob.

The difference is reflex vs. intent. If they see the screen and decide the best way around is OOB and take it...violation. If they don't see the screen until the last moment then instinctively dodge around it, no violation.

In addition, it is pretty hard for a screen to be legally set that lets the offensive player through such that they can stay inbounds while the defender's only or better route is out-of-bounds.
