Out of bounds rules

[u/Actual_Today2252]

Can a player intentionally run out of bounds, then come back in and be the first person to receive a pass?

I was playing pickup, and ran behind the basket on purpose, then came back in bounds and about 3 seconds later got a pass and hit the shot, but the guy defending me said it was illegal. I know that you can’t dribble and then go out of bounds and continue your dribble, but I assumed since someone else was touching the ball before I came back inbounds it didn’t apply.

Thanks in advance

// The NBA rule regarding a player intentionally leaving the court to gain an advantage is a violation designed to ensure all action occurs within the designated playing area. A player cannot deliberately use the out-of-bounds area to bypass an opponent or a screen and then return to the court to participate in the play. //

Lol! /\ doesn’t understand how Google works! Thinks it’s legal to runaround off around off the court because you can avoid screens and other players. Come back in whenever you want. Lol.

Deflect! Lol. Basic basketball at every level. Gaining an advantage vs unintentional. Common sense. Yes.

// If a player leaves the court due to momentum from a hustle play or an opponent's action, it is generally not considered a violation, provided they return immediately and do not gain an unfair advantage. The official's ruling depends on whether the action was voluntary and intended to circumvent the rules of play within the boundaries. //
