Okay. Even so, by dictionary definition, "retrieve" means to regain possession. Thumpferee's opening statement said A1 retrieved the ball as his momentum was carrying him OOB. It can be argued that A1, with possession of the ball with both feet on the court, who then pushes the ball to the floor has started a legal dribble and then violated by stepping out of bounds. Compare with 7.1.1 Situation B.
