The first night I called it a violation and tonight I didn't call it. I heard the coach moan as if I missed it as I ran by him, but I was unable to find that to be a violation.

Is there a clarification on a player needing to "establish" himself/herself in bounds prior to touching the ball?
These two rulings from the Case Book should help you:

PLAYER LOCATION
4.35.1 SITUATION:
A1 has both feet on the floor behind the three-point line. A1
jumps and releases the ball on a successful try and then lands inside the line.

RULING:
Three points are scored. (5-2-1)

4.35.2 SITUATION:
Thrower A1 inbounds the ball to A2. A2 immediately throws
the ball back to A1. When A1 touches the pass, he/she has: (a) both feet touching
inbounds; (b) one foot touching inbounds and one out of bounds; or (c) one
foot touching inbounds and the other not touching the floor.
RULING: The ball
remains live in (a) and (c), but A1 has caused the ball to be out of bounds in (b).
(4-4-4)
