who touched it last?

[splinter]

Here you go:

Player A has the ball near the sidelines, either dribbling or holding it. Player B, on defense, gets a hand on the ball, forcing Player A to lose control and the ball goes out of bounds. Player A is the last to touch the ball.

I constantly see this called as Player A's team retaining possesion, something vague about Player B causing the loss of control... Usually it's when the ball skims off the offensive players hand.

Seems pretty cut and dried to me — last person touching it, it's out on him.

Correct?

Thanks in advance...
