And that the count is in effect during a throw in. I've heard that one a couple of times.

Isn't the fumble rule different now??..

If a player is dribbling and loses the ball they can now go secure the ball and then begin a new dribble. Correct??

Only if the loss of control is caused by the opponent.

Not that I'm aware of...
A player may always pickup a fumble before/after a dribble.

When a dribble ends has been changed as in 4-15-4d
In that situation the player may begin a new dribble, but what you described sounds like an illegal dribble to me.

That if a player goes out of bounds during play, he cannot be the first to touch the ball when he comes back inbounds.

You have two full steps after you stop a dribble. (yes.. I've heard that)

If the ball is past the half court line you have established front court status.

Refs are blind.
