The rule above no longer applies because the ball is no longer in bounds.

Technically, the ball never was inbounds.

What? 
Technically,the ball has to have come in bounds,or it never would be legal for the defender to grab it or slap it.

All I know is that "a player is OOB when he/she touches the floor. . . outside a boundary" (7-1-1) and that "the ball is OOB when it touches a player who is OOB" (7-1-2a). The player is OOB and the ball is touching the player. Therefore, in the above situation, the ball was technically never inbounds.
Nowhere in 10.3.12SitB does the casebook mention that the ball is "inbounds" when it is slapped from A1's hand.
