Question about response to item #2 regarding jump ball (I'm assuming this jump ball is to start the game). Rule 4 Section 3 regarding setting direction of initial arrow states that the arrow is set when 1) A player secures control of the ball, as after the jump ball. Sec 12 states that a player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. In #2 where jumper "A" knocks the ball OB without anyone touching it I would have thought that the jump ball would have been replayed since no player or team control had yet been established.
The violation throw-in begins the alternating possession sequence.

If you have dual touches causing the ball to go OOB or two players gaining control resulting in a held ball, you re-jump with the players that caused it to go OOB or caused the tie-up.
Blind Z is correct but just to put it in layman terms: the ball still went out-of-bound, OOB, off of jumper A1. This means it is going to now be Team B's ball where it went out. This act, as BZ said, determines the possesion and the arrow will now be set so Team A will get the next possession.

I've screwed this up before; so I have consequently done the research... and paid the penalty.
