3) do not move prior to the toss, when the player was not along the center circle
For #1, I think this only pertains to non-jumpers along the center restraining circle, specifically within 3 feet. There is a case on this, but where is this in the rule book?
For #2, phantom rule?
For #3, same thing as #1 I believe, only applies to players along center circle

6-3 is your jump ball stuff. When referee ready nobody can come on to the circle or change position on the circle. A player on the circle can always back straight off of it.
Players off the circle can't move onto it when referee ready to toss. ball has to be touched by jumper before anybody can break plane of circle or get into another players space around circle.
Good officials mix this up. need to read it often. 1 is not violation, 2 is not violation. 3. simply moving isn't a violation...
