Well, that's obvious. I (nor any official I work with) will not chase a basketball anywhere for any reason.

Absolutely. Have game management escort him/her to the parking lot.

I was more focussed on picking the home player, but that's also about as far as I would have gone. If I said anything to game management, it would be along the lines of "deal with it however you see fit."

I would have stood there waiting for someone to retrieve the ball. Game mgmt should be aware that the fan rolled the ball to the other end of the court so I would let them deal with it.
