Tipoff question
 

Okay so the two tippers go up for the ball and both hit the ball but it falls straight back down to the floor. After it hits the floor and bounces back up one of the tippers bats it to one of his teammates. Is this a violation? I'd look it up by my rulebook is in the mail.

Legal. The jumper shall not touch the ball more than twice. However, this ends whenever the touched ball contacts one of the eight nonjumpers, the floor, a basket or backboard.

6-3-7

As tanner wrote, the jump ball is over on your play when the ball hits the floor. Therefore, even if one of the two jumpers now grabbed the ball instead of batting it to a teammate, it would be a legal play.
