I'm talking about NCAA here. Is it legal for a player that is dribbling to run out of bounds, NOT TOUCH THE BALL WHILE OUT OF BOUNDS, and come back inbounds and continue dribbling?

I know this is illegal in the NBA, in fact the player that went out can't even be the first to touch the ball.

But I haven't seen anything in the NCAA rule book that addresses this issue. I think it is legal in the the NCAA so long as the ball never touches the player out of bounds and as long as the player re-establishes himself inbounds before continuing the dribble.

Thanks for helping out a stranger!
