I thought that rule only covers the painted area, I was doing that in my career and got called for one

Im baiting them to pass inside and i can attempt to block it

It extends out of bounds, yes.

[BronBron06]

Thank you never knew that

You also can't set a screen out of bounds either.

Unfortunately with 2k, the only direction you can get away from some player "holding" you in the paint regardless of which direction you try to go, is into the team name area, and of course, by then, you're 3 seconds is up cuz you couldn't get away from the superglue defender before then.
