Out of bounds (or not)

[bigzilla]

Yes..X is dribbling, the ball is tipped away. X goes out of bounds for a step, comes back onto the court still chasing the ball, takes two full strides on the court, and touches the ball. The coach was of the opinion that once you left the court, you could not be the first person to touch the ball after reentering. My position was as stated, plus having taken two full strides while in bounds, the player had re-established.
