2- On a throw in after a made basket, after a TO. " She can't run the base line after a Time Out"
3- "That's a Walk!" Player had picked up her pivot foot and made a pass.
While #3 isn't as bad as the other 2, IMO, I did explain to the coach why it wasn't a walk. He was good with it.
In #1 and #2, I also explained to the coach he was wrong and why, and he told me that I was wrong, they can not run base line after a made basket and a TO. Also, on a spot throw in, they can not move their feet.
I tried....BTW, on #1 and #2 same coach, he used to be an official.....

After the coach goofed on #2, you could further educate the coach with the cases of a common foul and a violation by the scoring team.
That there are THREE cases (ie. more than 1) for retaining the whole end line for a throw-in, is evidence that the rules creators have thought about the issue more than he has.
Seems like he was an official with 1 year of experience for a number of years.
Then again, depending on the time line, he might not be aware of changes over the years.
