Can a player step out of the playing court while dribbling?


Example:The defender steps on the sideline, the dribbler manage to tap the ball ahead while still dribbling steps out of the playing court however before touching the ball he steps back into the court. A1 has player control of the ball while dribbling and is considered to be in contact while dribbling the ball and therefore causes the ball to be out-of-bounds.

Thanks

ChristianH:

Yes, A1 can step out-of-bounds while dribbling the ball, but he will have caused the ball to go out-of-bounds and Team B will receive the ball for a throw-in nearest the spot of the violation.
