Chuck, even though you made the save in the air, you also made it in-bounds. You didn't then do anything OOB after landing there to gain any kind of an advantage, did you?
Assuming that you went OOB inadvertantly (due to momentum), then you're right. In that case, coming back inbounds and being the first to touch the ball is, I believe, a violation this year in the NCAA.

Going OOB intentionally to gain an advantage (to go around a screen) is, I believe, still a T.
The point is that when you saved the ball, you weren't OOB. Therefore, going OOB after you saved the ball didn't give you any kind of advantage, did it? Ergo, no advantage --> no T.

Isn't the principle spelled out in NCAA 7-1-1AR1-"Legal. A1 has not left the court voluntarily and was not in control of the ball when leaving the playing court"?
