(old) going out of bounds, coming back in

No violation for being first to touch. Possible violation for illegal dribble if player threw the ball in, returned and caught the ball, then started a dribble.

I remember this being one of the misunderstood rules of basketball... "A player who is not a dribbler in control can keep (i.e., tap) a ball inbounds, go out of bounds, and return inbounds and be the first to play the ball!"

Possible dribbling or traveling violations anyone???

We could justify a lot of odd violations here but lets just stick to reality and not another trip down the rabbit hole.
