A couple of rules questions

Jump ball, team A has the possesion arrow. Team A takes ball out on the baseline, player starts running the baseline like a made basket. Ref blows the whistle, calls the violation. Team B takes ball out, throws it in and jump ball immediately occurs. The official making the call says team B's ball. Other ref says team A's. Both refs discuss and give ball to team A. Should have the possession arrow changed after team A's throw in violation?

Next question is just something I observed and have no idea if it's correct. Player A1 passes to A2 but ball is tipped by defense. The ball is rolling along the floor. A2 tries to get the ball bouncing while chasing it and the ball just keeps rolling. He is unable to get it to bounce after about 4 or 5 slaps at it. Ref blows the whistle and calls traveling. Correct?

On the 1st play, as soon as team A violates on the throw-in, they lose the arrow as well. Team B should have maintained possession after their throw-in resulted in a held ball. (1st ref was right.)

On the 2nd play, the official is just making stuff up. One cannot travel without control of the ball. Another situation where ugly or unusual does not merit a whistle--- play on.

Thanks for the replies! I'm disappointed in myself for not remembering the complete rule. Who could forget a rule that reads "an alternating posession throw-in ends when the throw-in ends". I knew there was something about the throw-in team violating but I wasn't going to be part of the game. That's the officials' job right?

And I see a lot of violations called on "ugly". And there's a lot of "ugly" in youth basketball
