re: Turner OOB

I believe the call was that Turner left the court voluntarily, hence a violation. If that’s the case though, it should have been called immediately. The fact that he touched the ball has no relevance. That’s a football call.

It’s interesting that the defender also left the court voluntarily. Should that have factored in, as in offsetting violations? No call? AFAIK, a “leaving the court” violation doesn’t stipulate whether the player is O or D.

Other mitigating factors: a player can leave the court due to momentum, and just has to getting “something in, nothing out” before being able to touch the ball. Same with being forced out or pushed out.

In this case, you could argue that Turner’s momentum carried him out, and the fact that he was already well ahead of the D player meant that he did not create any more of an advantage by going OOB. He was also well inbounds before he got the pass. I think it should have been a no call.
