I think I know where you are going with this and that' s the rule about the dribbler touching the out of bounds line while dribbling. 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." However, that does not apply to an interrupted dribble, which is what we have here.
4-15-5 "An interrupted dribble occurs when the ball is loose after deflecting off the dribbler or after it momentarily gets away from the dribbler. There is no player control during an interrupted dribble."
4-15-6 "During an interrupted dribble: d. Out-of-bounds violation does not apply on the player involved in the interrupted dribble."
