A1 does not touch the ball while OOB, and allows it to bounce twice before continuing the dribble. (Rare in HS but common in MS.) Legal?
Are you describing an "interrupted dribble?" If so (and it sounds like it), there's no player control and no violation.

If this is still a "normal" dribble, then this is a violation -- even if the player does not touch OOB and the ball at teh same time.
