... if his momentum carries him out (losing his balance) then leaving the court is legal.

How is his momentum going to carry him out if he's running/dribbling parallel to the sideline?

Rule 9-3-2 (Note) makes #3 illegal. A dribbler who steps out of bounds is OOB and has committed a violation even if he is not touching the ball while OOB. I assume this is to be called when he steps on the boundary or OOB. In #3, is the player dribbling? I think so. He was dribbling and the dribble never ended.

Ahhh yes, for all of Section 3, the ball is dead when the violation occurs.

Here's a catch. Say A1 is dribbling on a tightrope down the sideline. He loses his balance and steps on the line. A2 continues the dribble. You blowing it dead?

I guess you have to sort out whether he has re-established himself inbounds.
