NO, I said returns In Bounds and continues to dribble. If this is an int. dribble (or not even) we are still in the debate as to whether this is legal or not. Read the above posts....
We are?

The rules are pretty clear, it is OOB on A1 only if A1 has player control during while OOB. During an interrupted dribble there is no player control.

The only question is whether it was an interrupted dribble or not. If so, legal play. If not, OOB violation since that implies A1 was in control of the ball.
Unfortunately we have went on about 4 different tangents here and since some people continue to insist they are correct and not see the whole situation and questions I am posing this post has gone astray. I will state the sitch1 more time and what I believe we have gained and then I must check out for the day.

Sitch A1 dribbling near sideline and B1 gains legal guarding position such that A1 may not go around B1 unless he/she intentionally goes OOB to avoid contact. (i am throwing out the block/charge argument here that is a different story)

A1 performs the following actions.

A. without loosing dribble, A1 pushes the ball around B1 goes OOB around defender returns and either:

1. catches the ball
2. continues to dribble

B. Looses the ball on an interrupted dribble goes OOB around defender, returns and either 1 or 2 above.

C. Stops her dribble throws the ball over B1 goes OOB, returns in and either 1 or 2. (no need to answer this one obvious violation here)

D. B1 stops dribble, fumbles the ball, goes OOB around defender returns IB and either 1 or 2.

Keep in mind the defender has legal guarding position does not force A1 OOB (goes out intentionally) and never touches the ball.
