Here are the questions that came up for me.

1) A closely-guarded situation can occur when different defenders continuously guard the player holding or dribbling the ball, provided the 6-foot distance is maintained throughout.
2) A player-control foul may occur during an interrupted dribble.
3) Substitution between halves may be made by a team representative
4) B1 fouls A1 and B1 is replaced; B1 may return between A1's first and second free throws
5) The ball must be handed to a player in order to put it at the disposal of the player.
6) A red light behind each backboard or an LED light on each backboard is permitted to signal that time has expired for a quarter or extra period.
7) B1 has established a legal guarding position when one foot is on the playing court inbounds and one foot is on the sideline boundary
8) A dribble may be started by pushing, throwing or batting the ball to the floor before the pivot foot is lifted
9) The court is legally marked even though the team mascot painted on the floor obscures a small portion of the division line
10) A team must begin the game with five players.
11) There are three marked lane spaces on each lane boundary line, each measuring 36 inches by 36 inches.
12) A team foul is any personal foul or technical foul, except indirect technical fouls, that is charged to either team.
13) An official shall silently and visibly count seconds while administering the rules for a throw-in, free throw, backcourt, closely guarded and three seconds
14) During free-throw attempts resulting from a technical foul, substitutions may be made only after the final attempt has been converted.
15) If a mistake has been made and an umpire is still on the floor at the end of the game, he/she may call the referee back to make the correction.
16) When a red/LED light is used, the light is the official expiration of playing time
17) The horizontal panels of a legal basketball may have alternating colors.
18) An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for goal and has not returned to the floor.
19) In facilities with both a red light on each backboard and an audible timer's signal, only the audible timer's signal shall be used.
20) Continuous motion has no significance unless there is a foul by the offense during the interval between the habitual throwing movement and when the ball is clearly in flight.
21) When guarding a moving opponent without the ball, the guard must give the opponent time and distance to avoid contact
22) A substitute throw is awarded if B1 disconcerts free thrower A1 but the attempt is successful.
23) A substitute shall remain outside the boundary line until the scorer directs him or her to enter.
24) No. 0 and No. 00 are both legal numbers, but a team is not permitted to use both numbers on the same team list.
25) It is possible for time to expire during the throw-in following a successful free throw
26) To establish the alternating-possession procedure, control may be gained as a result of a violation or foul
27) If tapper A1 catches the referee's toss during the opening jump ball, Team B gains the first possession and the arrow is set toward A's basket
28) A bookkeeping mistake can only be corrected by the officials if it is recognized by the first dead ball after the mistake.
29) A team jersey containing the numbers 6, 7, 8 or 9 is illegal
30) Extra periods shall be three minutes with one minute intermission before each extra period
31) Neither team control nor player control exists during a dead ball, jump ball, throw-in, or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for a goal.
32) It is a violation if A1 contacts an opponent while swinging arms and elbows
33) A player occupying a marked lane space may not have any part of his/her body beyond the vertical plane of the lane boundary or edge of any lane space marking.
34) There are no color or design restrictions in the area of the team jersey from the imaginary line at the base of the neckline to the top of the shoulder
