Player indbounds status?
 
I apologize in advance as I am sure this has been discussed before. My question: A player who is out of bounds needs to do what exactly to re-establish himself/herself back inbounds before touching the ball? Is it one foot....two feet???

Thanks

Something touching inbounds and nothing touching out of bounds. One foot or any other body part.

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.
