If A1 gains control while out of bounds, the ref SHOULD YES blow the play dead. The rule is only to NOT blow it dead, if A1 gains control AFTER being out of bounds, only on an interrupted dribble.
LEGAL:: A1 loses control, then steps oob, then steps back in, then re-establishes the dribble.
ILLEGAL:: A1 loses control, steps oob, touches ball before stepping in-bounds with at least one foot.
ALSO ILLEGAL:: A1 is dribbling. He pushes the ball down on a single bounce of the established dribble, steps out, steps back inbounds, then touches the ball again.
