Situation one is tricky because we have a pass that was deflected, and then it went in. At best, you can rule it like an alley-oop but only in this case, scored by the defense. What's important to know here is where on the floor was the ball deflected. That is where the shot was placed from, which tells you if it's a 2-point score or a 3-point score.
S#2 is not that difficult to understand and I would rule the exact way they did by giving the player one technical for his comment. Good the officials got together and corrected the misunderstanding.
S#3 is a perfect example of what not to tell a coach. Also, if the player picked up the ball and was bumped out of bounds, you have to either call a foul or it's the other teams ball. You can not, not call a foul here. We are not here to protect players. This is bad officiating all around on this example. The coach had a valid point. If you're not going to call a foul, then it should be our ball. Got nothing to do with teaching the players, just call the game.
