It looks like the dribbler may have stepped on the line, but it's really hard to tell. Then I realized the shooter was standing out of bounds. When the pass leaves the dribbler's hand, the shooter still has a foot out of bounds. He jumps, catches the ball, lands in bounds and shoots the game winner. I'm not the best at college rules, but does the rule that a player out of bounds cannot be the first to touch a ball when he comes back in bounds apply in the NCAA?

Correction to my earlier response as it applies only to NCAA Men's basketball.
There is a rule that a player who goes out of bounds on his own volition cannot be the first one to receive a pass. 100% of the time we as NCAA Men's officials are only thinking about the situation on the end line where a player runs out of balance underneath the basket to get to the other side of the court.
In the case of the Ohio State game, the shooter violated this rule, but since it occurred on the sideline and it was more of him just drifting out of bounds, it didn't even occur to me this rule was in play.
Rule 9 Section 3. Player Out of Bounds Art. 1. A player who steps out of bounds under the player's own volition and then becomes the first player to touch the ball after returning to the playing court has committed a violation.
