Out/In bounds
When is it legal to go out of bounds...come back in.....and be the first to touch the ball? If he/she didn't go out "intentionally"?

Correct.
If there is a violation, it would be one of the following: Touching OOB while holding or dribbling the ball. Simply going OOB on purpose If they haven't violated by going OOB, it would not be a violation for them to return and touch the ball unless it would have been a violation for the to touch the ball anyway (without going OOB at all). |

From The List ...
If a player's momentum carries the player off the court, that player can be the first player to touch the ball after returning inbounds. That player must not have left the court voluntarily, and must immediately return inbounds. That player must have something in, and nothing out. It is not necessary to have both feet back inbounds. It is a violation for a player to intentionally leave the court for an unauthorized reason.

Got it.

For further rules bases, see Casebook 7.1.1 B.
Another way to put it, the returning player, upon touching the ball, must have something in and nothing out. The reason that's important is because some erroneously think that inbounds status must be established with two feet. Not so, at least in NFHS. |

floor inbounds, but A1, who is off balance, steps off the court. A1 returns inbounds, secures control of the ball and dribbles. RULING: Legal. A1 did not leave the court voluntarily and did not have control of the ball when he/she did. This situation is similar to one in which A1 makes a try from under the basket and momentum carries A1 off the court. If the try is unsuccessful, A1 may come back onto the court and regain control since A1 did not leave the court voluntarily and did not have control of the ball when he/she did. |
