My apologies - I was asking about the NCAA rule which uses the words stepping out of bounds "of their own volition". I think i misremembered own volition and voluntarily.
The rule is: "A player who steps out of bounds under his own volition and then becomes the first player to touch the ball after returning to the playing court has committed a violation."
But, I never knew what would be considered of their own volition and what wouldn't. I think i always thought of it as "intentionally".
I'm pretty sure Raymond answered the NCAA rule, in my scenario he would not call a violation, which is good to know.

When some teams run the Grinnell (SP?) offense, the players running on the sidelines try to get as wide as possible -- including OOB if they can. This would be a violation.
If I think a player is just "lost" for a second and, FOR EXAMPLE, has only one foot OOB for only one step, I'd let it go.
