3- It's a loose ball, there's no team control and no one is "entitled" to the ball.
When player #12 jumps from his FC and grabs the ball, he has now established team control, the ball has FC status, and he is the last player to touch the ball in the FC. When he lands in the BC, he has committed a BC violation.
It's actually no different than the play Scrapper1 cited.

In simpler terms what the NFHS is now telling us is that since this action does NOT take place (1) during a throw-in, (2) during a jump ball, or (3) by a defensive player (The last being because there is no clear offensive team or clear defensive team in this scenario.), the player is not granted an exception and thus this is a violation.
At least that is how I now understand the rule after reading the new case play posted by Scrapper.
