Rule Question for the gurus

After a made basket ot FT can a player taking the ball out of bonds dribble the ball?

I would say no and that once a player has it at their disposal and it touches out of bounds, it would then be dead with an out of bounds violation and you would award the ball to the other team.

And you would be wrong.

I would say incorrect, wrong, way off.

So it's legal to dribble the ball while standing out of bounds after a made basket?

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?

It's always legal for a thrower to bounce the ball out of bounds as long as it's not part of the throw-in pass.

If it's the throw-in pass, it can't bounce until it lands inbounds.
If it's a pass between OOB teammates, it can bounce.

I can't understand why people think this is illegal.
