NCAA Rule?
 

After going out-of-bounds, in high school you need to have one foot (or knee, elbow) back in bounds ... what is the college rule on this? Can you be the first to touch?

Same rule as in HS.

The rules regarding inbounds/OOB status are the same at the NCAA and NFHS levels. (Something in and nothing out.)

The only difference lies in when a violation occurs for a player leaving the floor under his own volition. In NFHS play that is an immediate violation, but under NCAA rules it is only illegal if he is the first to touch the ball after returning.

Of course, a player is allowed to leave not due to his own volition (ie due to momentum) and then return and be the first to touch the ball WITHOUT penalty at both levels.

Slacker.

A phrase comes to mind:

quality vs. quantity :D

If we counted all of my deleted posts, I'd be way ahead of you. ;)

Not only are you a slacker, you need to get a life.

Amen.

Unfortunately, this applies to me, as well.

shut up

yeah, now that's a good point. :)

What about dribbling? In NFHS or NCAA a player is dribbling and is bumped OOB or momentum carries them OOB are the allowed to return to the floor and continue a dribble they had previously started?

A dribbler who steps out of bounds has committed an out of bounds violation, even if he/she is not touching the ball when he/she steps out of bounds.

During an interrupted dribble, a player may go out of bounds, return, and continue dribbling.

If a player's being bumped by an opponent causes them to go out of bounds, then there may be a foul depending on positioning of the players.

Can you give an example?

It's all in the definition of an interrupted dribble. If a dribbler momentarily loses immediate control of a dribble, it should probably be considered interrupted. This allows him to step OOB due to momentum (or even a small bump) without committing a violation.

Interrupted Dribble (NFHS) ...
 

An interrupted dribble (NFHS) occurs when the ball is loose after deflecting off the dribbler or after it momentarily gets away from the dribbler. There is no player control during an interrupted dribble. During an interrupted dribble: Out-of-bounds violation does not apply on the player involved in the interrupted dribble.
