Georgetown/Providence

Early in the first half:

Georgetown is going on a fast break, Providence player comes in and slaps the ball out keeping it in the playing court. The providence player who hit the ball goes out of bounds and establishes himself back inbounds and is the first to touch the ball, no violation. Then when he starts dribbling there is a violation called, I know it has something to do with when the dribble began but what is the correct ruling? Whatever the official said must of made sense to everyone because there was no arguement.

Not enough information to answer. The first part (up through "is the first to touch the ball, no violation") is legal.

If the player recovered and held the ball, then either he lifted the pivot foot before starting the dribble, or he dribbled the ball before recovering it.

Georgetown / Providence

The official told the coach that he could not be the last one to touch the ball, go out of bounds, then be the first to touch the ball inbounds. (Even though he had established himself inbounds before touching.)

Of course that is not the correct ruling. This is not the NFL. And even in the NFL (or other levels of football) that is not automatically illegal.

Peace

Another Myth Bites The Dust ....

If a player's momentum carries him or her off the court, he or she can be the first player to touch the ball after returning inbounds. That player must not have left the court voluntarily and must immediately return inbounds. That player must have something in and nothing out. It is not necessary to have both feet back inbounds. It is a violation for a player to intentionally leave the court for an unauthorized reason.

Is it possible, in the original post, that the official thought the player has possession before going out of bounds, and that after legally coming back in bounds, started a dribble, which was an illegal, or double dribble?

That would be a controlled dribble, Bob? And not a slap to keep the ball inbounds.

Either a controlled dribble, or a catch and a "throw" inbounds followed by a recovery (so the "throw" becomes a dribble)..
