Random B-bal Q's- Rookie Official

[stripes52]

A few random questions from a rookie, to-be official:

*Team A has control in their frontcourt, A1 shoots and hits the rim, A2 secures the rebound and kicks it back out to A3, but it goes over A3's head into the backcourt. Is this over and back?

*Can a free throw shooter be the first one to touch the ball? (if they clank it off the front of the rim and then run up and get the rebound, assuming they don't cross the line until the ball hits the rim). How about for someone behind the 3-point arch? Can they run up and get the rebound as soon as it hits the rim?

*Once and for all, can someone explain over and back with a simple rule? For instance, do both the ball and both feet have to be in backcourt for it to be called? I see refs call it different ways constantly!

THANKS!
