A player must reestablish position inbounds before touching the ball if that player has gone out of bounds. Position would be reestablished when the player that had gone out of bounds get both feet back inbounds. Once both feet are back inbounds, then the player may touch the ball.
**Not sure if there is any differences between HS, College or NBA. According to NBA rules: A player in control of a dribble who steps on or outside a boundary line, even though not touching the ball while on or outside that boundary line, shall not be allowed to return inbounds and continue his dribble. He may not even be the first player to touch the ball after he has re-established a position inbounds.

can a defensive player step out of bounds and go back in bounds and be the first to touch the football
Both feet have to be established in bounds before the player can touch the ball again without being called out of bounds
yes as long as all of your body is in bounds before you touch the ball again
No, whether in Basketball or Football, a player may not step out of bounds and receive the ball. However, once another player touches the ball, other than the one currently holding the ball, that player may receive the ball.
yeah, ur thinking of football when if a receiver goes out of bounds, he can't touch the ball first. In basketball, you can jump into the crowd if u want and back and then still get the ball.
Yes...they must have 2 feet in bounds first
in order for a ball in basketball to be considered to be out of bounds the ball MUST touch/hit the ground out bounds ... if the ball does not touch/hit out of bounds the ball is still live a play can go out of bounds to throw/pass the ball back in bounds so long as the player that is going for the ball bounds feet are in the air when he makes contact with the ball ...
A player that runs out of bounds on purpose can not be the first player to make contact with the ball or the ball carrier. If they are pushed out of bounds by a blocker and make and effort to get back in quickly, they can make the tackle.
A defensive player may go out of bounds and then come back in bounds and make a tackle or recover a fumble. An offensive player may not go out of bounds voluntarily and then catch a pass. The only other rule about going out of bounds in the college rulebook is that a member of the kicking team may not go out of bounds voluntarily and then come back onto the field to make a play.
Well if the professional football player has the ball then no cuz if you go out of bounds then you go out of bounds so.
yes, as long as the player that tips has not stepped out of bounds
A player can not touch the ball while they are out of bounds they can jump and touch hit it back inbounds. If the balls bounces or touches any where out of bounds then last person who touches, doesn't get the ball and it goes to the other team.
