The case play 7.1.1 has nothing to do with player contro before he goes OOB.

Bart -
Sorry, but there is no player control during an interrupted dribble. As Hawks Coach and others have pointed out - if there is a player dribbling and he/she steps out of bounds
that player has commited a violation as soon as he/she steps OOB, whether the player is touching the ball or not.
If, however, you have an interrupted dribble, which many have been discussing in this thread - you certainly can be the last to touch the ball, then step OOB, and then be the 1st to touch it inbounds. See 7.1.1 b and c in your case book.
There is no player control during an interrupted dribble. See 4-12-1 in your rule book.
