I see this play as a player standing OOB and the ball touches them for whatever reason.
Not the held ball situation in my OP.

If the player causes the HB before stepping out of bounds (and I would consult the definition of a held ball), then it's a HB.
If he steps OOB in the process of trying to get a secure hold on the ball (ie, while touching but not having a secure hold on the ball), he has caused the ball to go OOB.
