The question is whether the player had control when he saved the ball. He may not be the last player to be in control of the ball, go out of bounds and be the 1st to touch it once he establishes in bounds status. If he never had control of the ball, then he may touch it as soon as he establishes in bounds status.

Sorry socalreff but this is incorrect.
You are allowed to have control of the ball, throw the ball in while falling out of bounds and then come back in and retrieve it. The issue is if you dribbled before and then picked it up with both hands and then threw the ball to the floor, you would not be allowed to retrieve it b/c it would be a double dribble. You also can't have control w/ a pivot foot and jump out of bounds and retrieve the ball because you lifted your pivot foot to start a dribble.
