No one can tell you that because it is not a violation. Whoever told you that was wrong.

Here is the NFHS ruling from the Case Book:

9.2.2 SITUATION D: A1 dribbles the ball on floor on the out-of-bounds area
before making a throw-in. RULING: Legal, a player may bounce the ball on the out-of-bounds area prior to making a throw-in.
