Chuck, where did you get this from?
Well, the new NCAA rule specifically says that it's illegal to go OOB of your "own volition". Since your momemtum is a matter of physics and not volition, I have to conclude that it's not prohibited by the rule. And since there's no other rule that prohibits being the first to touch the ball after being OOB, I have to conclude that it's legal.

Course, I've never been to the Final Four. . .
