What rule would make it impermissible?

Can a player make a bounce pass after a made basket that hits out of bounds before going into play?

How would that play be different than a player dribbling the ball?

Look I'm not saying I'm right but if above is an infraction how is it legal to dribble the ball out of bounds?

You are asking a different question. You have to pass the ball directly onto the court on all throw-ins (except on a throw-in after a made/awarded basket) either in the air or by not hitting the floor.

A dribble is you not throwing a pass onto the court. That is how it is different.

Nothing illegal unless the dribble touches the inbounds area and then the thrower touches the ball again while out of bounds (or is the first to touch inbounds).

Basketball Rules Fundamentals

5. Neither the dribble nor the travel rule operates during the jump ball, throw-in or free throw.

Case Book play 9.2.2 SITUATION D: A1 dribbles the ball on the 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 thrwo-in.

NFHS 9-2 and NCAA 9-5 outline the throw-in violations. None of these provisions forbid the thrower from dribbling the ball.
