Out-of-Bounds of Not? (FIBA Rules)

Can't say about FIBA, but it should be legal in NFHS.

Seems legal to me too, he loses control of the ball, then steps out of bounds and returns back inbounds before touching the ball again.

Legal play.

Official incorrect. this play is legal under FIBA rules.

Perhaps the official was straightlined and screened by the dribbler's body and didn't see the fumble and thought it was just a standard dribble.

Official also appears to signal a violation and blow the whistle before the player even touched the ball.

IF the official judged it to be a dribble, then that would be correct (FED and NCAA rules).

This was actually my first thought as well.

Legal in FIBA.
