A closely guarded count should not be started, and if one has already been started, the count should be terminated during an interrupted dribble. The player involved with the interrupted dribble cannot be called for an out of bounds violation. Team control continues during an interrupted dribble. A team control foul can be called during an interrupted dribble. A three second violation can be called during an interrupted dribble.

Considering the section heading, it seems that the illegal action listed in article 3 makes your above statement false.
RULE 9
SECTION 3 OUT OF BOUNDS
ART. 1 . . . A player shall not cause the ball to go out of bounds.
NOTE: The dribbler has committed a violation if he/she steps on or outside a boundary, even though he/she is not touching the ball while he/she is out of bounds.
ART. 2 . . . No player shall be out of bounds when he/she touches or is touched
by the ball after it has been released on a throw-in pass.
ART. 3 . . . A player shall not leave the court for an unauthorized reason.
