re: 3 terrible calls last night by the refs

If a player steps out of bounds without the ball, he can step back inbounds at any point. However, he cannot touch the ball or impact the game until he has legally returned inbounds by having both feet within the boundary lines

Straight out the rule book for illegal touching. So sounds like they have contradictory rules an need to choose which one makes sense. Obviously if you are out of bounds and a player has the ball in both his hands you shouldn’t be able to knock it out an impact the game from out of bounds
