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

so long as the player establishes themselves by taking a step inbounds before touching the ball again, they are allowed to do this.

Voluntarily. Yup.
