This happened in the Baylor/Texas game yesterday (with 19:24 to go in the first half if anyone wants to post a video).

Yes, the NFHS and NCAA rules on leaving due to momentum or while making a save are the same. The player may return and legally get the ball.
This is different from leaving to run around a screen or avoid a defender.
