You are where you are, until you get where you're going

Clark - I like to explain it to coaches and young refs like this:

When a ball is going out of bounds and A1 dives after it and saves it before it goes out of bounds, it's a live ball because A1 dove from the court and never touched out of bounds. Therefore, he and the ball are still considered inbounds.

Same is the opposite (and backcourt). If a player is out of bounds (or in the backcourt) and leaps/jumps and touches the ball, it (the ball) then has the same status as the player when he left the court. Therefore - TWEET!

Also, in your case, you've got to have "something in and nothing out."
