If a player steps out of bounds without the ball, he can return at any time. He cannot, however, touch the ball or make an influence on the game until he has lawfully returned inbounds by placing both feet within the boundary lines. When a player interferes with the ball when it is out of bounds, the opposing side gains control. If the player who lost the ball tries to get it back inside the court, the opposing team gets another chance to shoot.
The only exception to this rule is if the player who loses the ball touches the ball before it hits the floor (or any other object not part of the playing surface). In that case, the player does not lose possession of the ball and cannot be called for a foul.
Also, a player who is out of bounds can still be touched by opponents while remaining out of bounds. For example, if a player is bumped by an opponent while breaking for the basket, he will usually receive the ball upon touching the ground outside the free-throw line. However, if the player is touched after he has left the court, he will be considered out of bounds.
Finally, players are out of bounds if they enter their own penalty box. For example, if a player charges into the stands to retaliate against an opponent who hit him with a ball or object from the crowd, he has entered a new penalty box and is automatically out of the game.
Basketball Out-of-Bounds Regulations You can keep the ball in bounds by jumping in the air out of bounds as long as your feet do not contact the ground.
Basketball Out-of-Bounds Regulations If you step on or cross the boundary lines, you are out of bounds. It is only a violation if a player steps out of bounds and is the first player to touch it upon returning inbounds. When a player with the ball steps out of bounds, the ball is turned over to the opposing team. However, if that player was not touched by a teammate, then they can still enter the court with the ball.

Can a basketball player go out of bounds and then return to the game? An athlete who is out of bounds cannot play the ball, but they can engage with it once both of their feet are back on the court. If a player goes out of bounds in college basketball, the other team receives a free throw. In the NBA, if a player goes out of bounds, the opposing team gets two free throws.
Players can be ejected from a game for various reasons including leaving the court during a stoppage in play or refusing to leave the court after being warned by referees not to enter further. If a player is ejected he/she will be suspended without pay for one game. If the player refuses to leave the court after being ordered to do so by a referee or security guard, he or she could be charged with criminal trespass and face further disciplinary action from the league.
In conclusion, players can go out of bounds in the NBA but they would likely get their shots blocked. On the other hand, if they left the court at a break in play in college basketball, they could return during time outs or re-enter the game. Finally, if a player disobeys an official and refuses to leave the court after being told to do so, they could be arrested for criminal trespassing and have their suspension handed down by the league.
Any out-of-bounds play other than after a made basket: The individual taking the ball out of bounds must stay within three feet of where the referee administers the ball. The individual inbounding the ball has the option of moving both feet. However, stepping outside of the three-foot zone is a violation.
If an opponent contacts a second inbounder before he receives the ball, that player will be awarded a free throw. If the contact was with the first inbounder, then he is allowed to move without penalty.
After making a field goal or throwing in the ball, the player can't change his mind and kick it out-of-bounds. He either shoots or passes. If he tries to do both, then no action occurs.
However, if the player who makes the field goal or throws in the ball violates this rule, a review by the referees determines whether or not he should have kept control of the ball. If so, then he gets another chance from the line. If not, then he loses possession of the ball and the opposing team gets a shot at it.
