- Opponent B's momentum carries him out of bounds as he continues towards ball.
- Opponent B *clearly* establishes himself back in bounds while pursuing ball.
- Opponent B picks up ball.
Is it legal? (my confusion comes in cause no one else touched the ball)
Thanks in advance.

Case book play 7.1.1 Situation C is your play almost verbatim. Legal
