A player bumped OOB is not voluntarily leaving..and thus "unauthorized."

I would be careful about voluntarily. Momentum is the natural result of a voluntary action. The player voluntarily chose to take a layup that would carry them OOB after releasing the shot.
It is close, but not really accurate.

If this situation applied, as UNI notes, you should get the foul on that bump.

This would be closer, IMO.
It is a violation when player chooses (or volunteers) to go OOB as an independent act.
