SECTION 2 CAUSING THE BALL TO GO OUT OF BOUNDS – INDIVIDUAL PLAYER
ART. 1 . . . The ball is caused to go out of bounds by the last player in bounds to touch it or be touched by it, unless the ball touches a player who is out of bounds prior to touching something out of bounds other than a player.
ART. 2 . . . If the ball is out of bounds because of touching or being touched by a player who is on or outside a boundary line, such player causes it to go out.
Case plays to back up ruling from 2009-2010 Case Book:
OUT-OF-BOUNDS SITUATIONS
7.1.2 SITUATION B: A1, while dribbling, touches: (a) B1 who is standing on a sideline; or (b) a nearby chair or scorer’s table while A1’s feet are inbounds.
RULING: (a) A1 is inbounds. However, if the ball in control of A1 touches B1, the ball is out of bounds & is awarded to Team A at that spot. In (b), A1 is out of bounds &, therefore, the ball is considered to have gone out of bounds. (7-2)
7.1.2 SITUATION C: A1 is dribbling in Team A’s backcourt when the ball is deflected by B1. The ball gets away & contacts a child who is (a) walking inbounds (on the playing court); or (b) walking out of bounds. The official sounds the whistle.
RULING: In (a), the ball is not out of bounds since the person contacted, the child, was inbounds. However, for safety reasons the official should stop play & resume from the point of interruption. Team A, the team last in control, will be awarded a throw-in at a spot nearest to where the ball was located when play was interrupted. B1 has committed an out-of-bounds violation in (b). (4-36; 7-2-1)
7.2.1 SITUATION: A1 holds the ball near a sideline. B1 is inbounds & bats the ball from the hands of A1 causing it to go out of bounds.
RULING: The ball is awarded to Team A as B1 caused it to go out of bounds.
7.2.2 SITUATION: A throw-in by A1 (a) strikes B1 who is inbounds &
rebounds in flight directly from B1 & then strikes A1 who is still out of bounds; (b) is batted by B1, who is inbounds & the ball is next touched by A1 who is still out of bounds.
RULING: A1 caused the ball to go out of bounds & it is awarded to Team B at that spot for a throw-in for both (a) & (b).

I continued, if that's the case, couldn't B1 contest and prevent A1 from saving the ball, and the guy said B1 cannot interfere with A1 saving the ball because B1 is "out of play" and such an offense is "a flagrant". Could someone clarify this? Thank you, gents.
