I think it's important to remember that there are situations when players may legally leave the floor without violating. One example would be a player sprinting towards the end line to retrieve a ball headed out of bounds - throwing it back in bounds, then letting his momentum carry him OOB. He's fine if he immediately reenters. No violation.
Perhaps the player in the OP situation is OOB for a non violating reason.
If so, and there's contact, it's "on him" and not the offensive player regardless of his right to a spot on the court.
