But IMO the rules seem to be pretty clear. The player is allowed to bounce the ball, or pass the ball OOB after a
made basket. If he passes the ball OOB I don't believe he
is restricted from catching his own pass OOB (travel &
dribble rules don't apply). If we agree on this then I
think it follows that the ball can bounce off the OOB official & be retrieved.

I don't know as I necessarily agree with that but I've already stated my case, so I won't go into it much further. I'll just say that the RB states that the ball must be passed to a teammate, inbounds or OOB, or passed directly inbounds. The book doesn't say he can pass it any other way. If he passed it off an opponent who was OOB, the ball would be OOB on the opponent. I still think that, technically without any type of exception to that rule, it's a violation.

If the ball deflects off the OOB official & goes inbounds it's a throw-in violation when
touched by a team mate.

Agreed, unless it's considered a violation as soon as it touches the official.
But if this play was specificall addressed, I could accept that interpretation.

If the official was standing in bounds & the ball deflects back OOB we have an OOB violation.

Obviously. Where's the spot?

If the official was leaning against the wall or sitting up in the basket supports then we have a violation. But in this case we have nothing.

Hmmm. I'm not going there but I would love to know where I can find that one in the RB!
