Not quite. The dribbler attempted to quickly change direction after the defender obtained a legal guarding position and lost her balance. As her momentum carried her towards out of bounds, she continued dribbling. When she realized she would not be able to stay in bounds, she stopped dribbling and let the ball keep bouncing in bounds while she stepped out of bounds due to her momentum. Once she regained her balance, she saw the ball was still bouncing, came in bounds and started to dribble again. The dribbler did not go out of bounds intentionally and she did not gain an advantage by going out of bounds.
