So what you're saying is that once I step out of bounds, even if I haven't touched the ball while out of bounds, you would kill the play, and call a violation on me?

No, Drake, that's not what we're saying. You've described an interrupted dribble -- there's no player control, so no violation for being out of bounds.

Yes, it's a violation for the dribbler to step out of bounds, but you can't call a violation until he comes back in and is the first to touch the ball.

Again, not true in HS or NCAA. A dribbler has control of the ball. IT's a violation as soon as the dribble touches OOB.
