A couple plays that happened at our State Boys B tourny last week, that RD and I thought we'd post to see how you all would handle.
Play 1:
B1 makes a great defensive play by "reaching in" but not making contact with play, and knocks the ball aways from A1. In chasing it down, he steps out of bounds, comes back in bounds and obtains possession. Official called OB Violation.
Play 2: A2 runs out of bounds along baseline to avoid a defensive player, then returns to court, but does not receive a pass. Official blows whistle and issue "Warning" to Team A for running OB during live ball."
Play 3: A2,A3,A4 &A5 all line up in a "stack" for an inbound play from the endline. PLayers from Team B, wanted to be between them. Officials ordered Team A players to allow B players to alternate. (Would you enforce this different had the inbound pass come from the sideline?
I witnessed two of these plays, and was one of the officials in a 3rd.

Play 1) Legal if B1 has reestablished his position in-bounds
Play 2) I believe a warning is in order, I would not stop play to do it though. During the first dead ball instruct the player not to leave the floor, and what the rule is. If he goes OOB, around a double pick, back to the floor, recieves a pass and is open for a 3, I blow and call a "T" before the shot is away. Apply the advantage/disadvantage to this rule
Play 3) The officials were correct in allowing the defending team alternating positions. Same on the siedline.
My take on your questions, I have been wrong before, though.
