Running The Baseline Question

[JAdams]

Can't find this one in either the case book or the rule book, so let me turn to you guys (generic term) out there.

Girls varsity scrimmage last Saturday and the three of us refs and both coaches were killing time during warmups, when one coach asked us our opinions. Situation is after a made shot when the inbound player can run the baseline. Everyone knows that inbounding A1 can pass the ball along the endline to teammate A2 who is also standing out of bounds along the baseline. Question is: can A1 bounce the ball to A2 as long as the ball doesn't touch the end line or any part of the court in bounds?

Followup question is: can a player on the spot before an inbound pass dribble the ball during the five second count?

Opinions appreciated. Have a great season, folks.
