Okay, here's the explaination of what I had and did last night. A makes a basket. B1 grabs the ball and heads out of bounds.

So far so good

B2 then runs OOB and B1 tosses the ball to him. By their body language and the way they are moving (how's that for by the book terminology) I could tell that what they were trying to do is get the correct person for their press break inbounding the ball.

B2 is out of bounds and receives the ball. Legal during throw in after made basket.

Since I had yet to begin my 5 second count, I did not call this a violation.

Started count or not...it is legal for the players to pass the ball to each other OOB after a made basket as long as it is withing their 5 seconds.

Had I begun counting, I would have called a violation.

You would wrongly called a violation. Once again made basket all the passing they want OOB within their 5 seconds.

Had B2 caught the ball and dribbled up the court, I also would not have called a violation.

Well, here we do have a violation. B2 receives ball from B1 OOB after made basket, then dribbles ball up the court. Failure to throw ball directly onto the court during a throw in.

Sorry there's no rulesbook quotes in here, but they're in the bag and Wednesday's my day off from games.
