Allow me to try to illustrate a play for this discussion.
A1 is running down the sideline with B1 is close pursuit. A1 dives for the B's goal line and B1 dives at A1's legs and bumps him taking the ball to a position out of bounds (A1's arm with the ball is over the sideline). A1 switches the ball to the other arm in midair and extends his arm and the ball then strikes the pylon.
Ruling on this?
