Really? Based on what rule?

What I mean is, that a player who is dribbling (Player control) can not go around a defender by going out of bounds to avoid contact with the defender. Even if the ball itself does not touch out of bounds, or the player in control is not touching the ball, as soon as the player in control steps out of bounds they have violated. That would be based on rule 7-1-1.
As far as the interrupted dribble, I would base that on rule 4-15-5 and 4-15-6d.
