Doesn't apply to the play you describe ("saving the ball while falling OOB") -- that's not "leaving of your own volition".
The rule difference applies on a play where the baseline cutter runs out of bounds (perhaps to set up the screen) and then looks to receive a pass from the wing.
In HS, that's (supposed to be) an immediate violation (as soon as the player runs OOB). In NCAA, it's a violation only if the player is the first (next) to touch the ball after returning.
