From last year and this year:
"9-3 NOTE: The dribbler has committed a violation if he/she steps on or outside a boundary, even though he/she is not touching the ball while he/she is out of bounds."
Is the player a dribbler? Yes. Did they step OOB? Yes. Violation.

My example was player A1 in bounds has dribble, passes ball thru defenders legs, goes out of bounds, returns onto court and continues to dribble. Violation 9-3-2.
Lat year, the above violation 9-3-2 was called a techincal.
If A1 has the dribble on the court, continues their dribble while touching the boundary line, violation even though during his/her dribble while being out of bounds the ball was not touching, it is said to have caused it to be out of bounds. Violation 9-3-1.

Sigh.
No, johnny, it wasn't.
Last year, there was no 9-3-2, there was only a 9-3. It's the same as this year's 9-3-1, plus the NOTE that Camron posted above. This year, they added the part about a player (not the dribbler) going OOB and returning. Since they added a part, they had to renumber it to 9-3-1 (the old rule) and 9-3-2. They left the note.
You asked for some history, so I found this in the '97-'98 book (I can't find the earlier books):

9-3 Ques. -- The dribbler steps on or outside a boundary, but does not touch the ball while he or she is out of bounds. Is this a violation. Ans. -- Yes.

You'll note that this is essentially the same as today's comment.
At one point, this was true even of an interrupted dribble. The rule was changed to make it *not* apply in that case.
