If the ball goes OOB inside the lane, you're allowed to put the ball in play on either side. The lane is not divided down the middle, so that if it goes out to the left of the basket, you put the ball in play to the left of the basket. As long as the ball goes out
inside the lane, it's perfectly acceptable to put it back in play without forcing your partner to rotate across the court.
Now, if the ball goes OOB outside the lane, across the lane from the Lead, then absolutely put the ball in play on that side of the basket and force your partner to rotate across the court.

Isn't it acceptable when there is no defensive pressure to bounce pass to the player waiting to inbound the ball on the correct side of the key without forcing your partner to trade sides?

Only in the NBA, Bart. Don't do this in HS or NCAA games.
