I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here, but it sounds like your saying the following:

A1 is dribbling the ball. A1 steps on the OOB boundary line, while A1's hand is NOT in contact with the ball. This is not a violation.
IF that's what you're saying, crew, then you're wrong. A player dribbling the ball has player control even when he's not touching the ball during the dribble. Therefore, as soon as he steps on the OOB line, you have a player in control of the ball while OOB. Violation.

This is specifically stated in 9-3 NOTE. Gotta do a little more studying, there, crew.
