That's the key right there. The player committed a legal act(pass,save,shot,etc.) while still having in-bounds status. Therefore--->legal play. His momentum then took him OOB, but he immediately returned in-bounds. Again---->legal play.
If the player didn't immediately return in-bounds, when able to, after being legally OOB as above----->technical foul.
If a player simply goes OOB to gain some kind of advantage(set an illegal screen, to avoid a screen, to get away from a defender, etc.)---->violation.
