If the ball touching the hip causes the ball to come to rest in the hand, then a subsequent dribble is a violation. If the ball simply bounces away after hitting the hip, then you treat it as an interrupted dribble.

2 - If I'm the non-administering official on a free throw, what all am I doing?

1. If you're the calling official, indicate the number of FTs to your partner.
2. Indicate number of FTs to the table.
3. When shooter catches ball from the administering official, begin a subtle count. Use a wrist flick, rather than swinging your arm.
4. Observe shooter to make sure s/he doesn't step over the FT line.
5. If the ball will remain alive on a miss, raise arm (whichever one is closer to the table) when the FT is released.
6. (FED) Observe players on far lane line for early entry into the lane.
6. (NCAA) Observe players on nearer lane line for early entry into the lane.
7. Observe flight of the ball to make sure it hits rim.
8. Observe any play above the rim in case of GT or BI.
9. Observe players on nearer side of basket to officiate rebounding action.
10. Chop clock when ball is legally touched after the missed FT.
11. Lower arm (without chopping) if FT is made and observe players for holding or screening action during throw-in.
Other than that, you can pretty much relax.
