This interpretation is no different from a player having fallen out of bounds trapping/pinning a ball still on the floor inbounds. That player out of bounds has caused the ball to also be out of bounds.

That's what I've been trying to tell ya.

Really ???
I thought you were sorta trying to sell the unreleased ball as being inbounds.

Yup, that too. Isn't it if it's touching the floor in-bounds?

No.
The location of the secured ball doesn't depend on where it started, it depends upon the location of the player with the ball, until the ball is released.
An out of bounds player trapping a ball on the court is causing the ball to be out of bounds, just like the Throw-in player causes the ball to remain out of bounds eventhough he is trapping the ball on the court.
You seem to want it both ways, but there is no rule for that. Tsk, tsk.
