If in your judgment the ball was in the control of the dribbler (does not mean touching it) when A1 stepped OOB, then it is a violation. If you feel that control had been relinquished before A1 stepped OOB, then you no longer have a dribbler, so you don't have a violation. 4-15-6d

2. Do you have 30 seconds to replace an injured player if you don't call time out.

YES, always! Once the player and those attending to him on the court have returned to the bench, an official should start a 30 second clock for replacing him. See 10.5.1 Situation A.

3. What happens to the 3-second count during an interrupted dribble.
|
Nothing, since there is team control during an interrupted dribble, the 3-second rule is in effect and a violation may be called. This was a rule change last year. There was even a notice on NFHS website last year that said they messed up and should have stricken the words "or interrupted dribble" from casebook play 9.7.2, shame on them for leaving those words in again this year!

4. Does the Defense have to hit the ball away to cause an interrupted dribble or can the dribbler cause it themself.

Look at the definitions of how a dribble ends (4-15-4d) and interrupted dribble. You will find that a bat by a defender ends a dribble, so this is not an interrupted dribble. An interrupted dribble (4-15-5) only occurs when the ball gets away from the dribbler or deflects off him.

5. if a player is directed to leave the game because of an untucked shirt can it be corrected by a time out and the player return.

No. The TO rule applies only to injured or bleeding players, not uniform problems. Look at 3-3-4 , 5, and 6. Article 4 says he must stay out. Article 5 makes an exception for an injured player if a TO is taken. Article 6 makes an exception for a bleeding player if a TO is taken. Since a player directed to leave the game for a uniform problem is not covered under either time-out exception, he MUST leave the game.

If you go by the wording of the rules the TO should, technically, be requested before the player is directed to leave the game. Strictly speaking, once the player has been directed to leave it is too late to keep him in the game with a TO. 3-3-5,6
