Who gets possession of the ball?

When the ball contacts player A, who is out of bounds, the ball is out of bounds at that moment. It is OOB because A contacted the ball while OOB. B's ball.
The clause about the last player to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds is not for this case. It is for the case where the ball is last touched by an inbounds player before the ball goes out of bounds by hitting the floor/wall/etc., not another player who is out of bounds.
