Yes, if the player establishes himself in bounds by placing both feet inside the court. If one foot has not been re-established, then it is a violation of being out of bounds while collecting the ball, resulting in a turnover.

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.

you cant dribble the ball out of bounds but a player can step out of bounds and the ref wont call anything ( i dnt know why you would want to step out though because if a teammate passes it to you the other team gets the ball)
