2) Do let tiny out-of-bounds go too? How about tiny backcourt violations? Tiny steps onto the court while throwing the ball in? Tiny.......? Do you ignore all tiny violations or just some tiny violations?

3) Passing on two-handed defense would pass you right out of varsity assignments in my neighbourhood. Basket and a foul...yes. No foul? Never.

1)To me advantage/disadvantage does apply when you give the ball to a team out of bounds when bumped slightly.

2)Team throws ball in, player lifts foot up slightly before putting ball down to dribble in own backcourt with no press and no defensive player in sight. If you call a travel there, you are just bogging down the game on a useless call.

3)Player receives an inbounds pass, defense very lightly bumps into him not affecting the player at all. I would rather pass on the slight foul and allow the offensive player to work inside since he has the ball where he wanted the ball in the first place.
