My question for you is why in the world did you blow the ball dead during for the first play that you described? Your post is about rules. Under what rule are you allowed to blow the ball dead to explain a rule to a coach. IMO, things like this are what get us in trouble as referees.
The traveling during an inbounds is a common misinterpretation of the rules that is in part the fault of officials and announcers in basketball games. I have seen officials on tv give a traveling signal when the thrower-in violated the 3' restriction. The announcers (regardless) of what signal the official gives, virtually always says that it is traveling out of bounds. The coaches assume that the announcers know the rules and use that during their games (pee-wee, AAU, or HS).
