That's true, which is the exact same thing I said above.

purposely leaves ball on the court to avoid a defender,then is the first to touch the ball after returning in-bounds to continue his dribble, it is illegal.

And that's not true. If the dribbler is "in control," it's a violation as soon as he steps OOB. Purposely leaving the court has absolutely nothing to do with whether a violation occurs or not. It's simply a matter of whether control exists when he touches OOB.
It is never a violation under NF rules to be the first player to touch the ball after being OOB. Such a violation does not exist.
