Never officiated it, but it was still being played when I was in school in Iowa. (It was eliminated after my freshman year of high school).

I don't think this is quite right. IIRC, after a made basket, the officials would pass the ball to a "forward" in the center circle for an "inbound" pass, but I think you could do defensive-to-offensive transitions (after a steal, for example) simply by passing the ball to a "forward" on the other side of the division line.
I can't remember what happened after an offensive violation in the frontcourt... if there was a nearest-spot throw-in for the defense, or if they would just move to the center circle like they would after a made basket.
Found this video on Youtube... not exactly high quality video, but gives you a sense of how things were played:
