I constantly see this called as Player A's team retaining possesion, something vague about Player B causing the loss of control... Usually it's when the ball skims off the offensive players hand.
Seems pretty cut and dried to me last person touching it, it's out on him.
Correct?
Thanks in advance...

Not correct, as you've described it.
7-2-1 "The ball is caused to go out of bounds by the last player in bounds to touch it or be touched by it..."
