IAABO's not-so-Fab Five

*A-1’s throw-in is deflected into the backcourt by A-2, who is in the frontcourt. A-1 is the first to touch the ball in the backcourt. The official rules a legal play. Is the official correct?
(Yes, no control was established by an inbounds player.)
*Prior to the game, team A is assessed a technical foul. While the ball is at the disposal of the free thrower B-1, the official has the scorer set the possession arrow toward team A’s basket. Is the official correct?
(No, for a non-common foul the arrow isn't set until the ball is placed at the disposal of the thrower on the ensuing throw-in.)
*B-1 rebounds a missed try at A’s basket and passes the ball to a teammate near the division line. A-1 jumps from his/her frontcourt and secures control while both feet are off the floor. A-1 lands in the backcourt. The official rules a legal play. Is the official correct?
(Yes, defensive player exception.)
*A-1 commits his/her fifth foul and is disqualified. Prior to A-1 being replaced, team A requests a timeout. The official denies the request. Is the official correct?
(Yes, no time-out shall be granted until the DQ'd player is replaced.)
*Jumper A-1 taps the ball which hits the floor and jumper A-1 catches it. The official rules this a legal play. Is the official correct?
(Yes, the jump ball ends when the ball strikes the floor, so a jumper may then grab it.)

All of these questions seem fine to me.

When I saw the list I was really surprised these were the top five. As was said earlier #2 doesn't happen too often so I can see some confusion and #5 can surprise us when it happens. The others tend to come up fairly often.

I know the rule for #2, but why is that logical versus the ruling for the same with a common foul?

Because with the common foul, play will be resumed by the FTs.

With any other kind of foul, play will be resumed with a throw-in after the FTs, so you therefore wait to make sure nothing else hinky happens before you reach that point.
