This is AR 145/149 (NCAAM/NCAAW). I can't say whether the ruling has changed because I haven't seen the new case books but this is what it was as of the end of last season...

Quote:
A1 deflects a pass near the end line. The ball falls to the floor inbounds but A1, who is off balance, falls outside the end line. A1 returns to the playing court, secures control of the ball, and dribbles.

RULING: Legal. A1 has not left the playing court voluntarily and was not in control of the ball when leaving the playing court. The same should be true when A1 makes a try from under the basket and momentum carries A1 off the playing court. It is legal when the try is unsuccessful, and A1 comes onto the playing court and regains control of the ball.

I think you may have been confusing the above scenario with this rule:

NCAAM & NCAAW 9-4-1 ('13-15)
A player who steps out of bounds under his/her own volition and then becomes the first player to touch the ball after returning to the playing court has committed a violation.
a. A violation has not been committed when a player, who steps out of bounds as permitted by Rule 7-4.6.b (i.e., during a throw-in following a successful or awarded goal), does not receive the pass along the end line from a teammate and is the first to touch the ball after his/her return to the playing court.
