Thanks, Bob.

Just to clarify the offensive board situation: if a player has dribbled and held the ball, can he still throw the ball off the board, recover the ball and proceed to dribble again? Or can he simply recover the ball with no additional dribble?

Yes, he can still dribble. If he were to throw the ball offf his opponent's backboard, it would be a double dribble.
