Obviously the ball was ALREADY out of bounds before it touched the official, and it was being legally passed out of bounds between teammates after a basket....Rule 7-5-7

ART.7...After a goal or awarded goal as in 7-4-3, the team not credited with the score shall make the throw-in from the end of the court where the goal was made and from any point outside the end line. A team retains this privilege if the scoring team commits a violation or foul (before the bonus is in effect) and the ensuing throw-in spot would be on the endline. Any player of the team may take a direct throw-in or he/she may pass the ball along the end line to a teammate(s) outside the boundary line.
