Just add air.

Also, if a player is not a dribbler, makes a save for a ball that is going out of bounds, returns to the floor, and if the first to touch the ball. Is that a out of bounds violation?

Thanks...

Frankly, I can't think of a plausible case of this happening. Can you describe one? Then maybe we can rule on it.
