Good Questions

Second Scenerio: Sounds like an interrupted dribble (no longer player control), during which the player formerly known as "dribbler" may touch the ball again after establishing status on the court again (Different from the situation in 9-3-1 NOTE). |

A player can legally touch the ball when they're inbounds and nothing touching out of bounds. This is not the NFL where you have to get two feet back in to reestablish oneself. If a player loses the ball and accidentally goes out of bounds, the player can legally touch the ball as soon as they return inbounds. If you watch other levels of play, they have different rules about this (well at least the NBA does...not sure about NCAA). |

One scenario to think about that is pretty rare but may happen: Player A had previously legally ended their dribble and somehow fumbled the ball and saves the ball, by throwing the ball to the floor inbounds. Player A then gets both feet back inbounds and is the first to catch the ball. The referee has to judge whether the save was the start and the catch is the ending of a second dribble, which is of course a violation. |

But if we want to play semantics, "Nothing in as long as something is not out." |

They could easily be on a knee, back, or belly after diving for the lose ball with neither foot touching the floor. |

So whatever helps the person remember that as long as nothing is out, then you are in. |
