Yes, basketball officiating is getting to you. In basketball, the ball and the player would be OOB. Not so in football. In this play, the WR is not OOB because he is not touching OOB when he touches the ball. Can't apply bball principles here.

2-28-1
A player or other person is out of bounds when any part of the person is touching anything, other than another player or game official, who is on or outside the sideline or end line.
