#3 is an odd one, because isn't a player considered to be where he last touched the floor? So if you jump from OOB catch the ball in the air and "save" it, that is OOB. My answer to #3 was that this would be a back court violation since A1 had not established himself in the back court yet.

#1 has been discussed in the forum a lot, I got that one right. #5 is one of those that I thought was OK, but wasn't 100% sure of the rule, so I'm glad it has been discussed.

#2 makes a difference if a player on Team B commits a Technical Foul prior to the throw-in.

#4 makes a difference b/c you need a sub before any subsequent action can take place.

#3 is not a problem for anybody who studies the rules.

#1 is something any 1st year official should know.

#5 I called this a violation once a long time ago (and nobody said anything) but I went to check the rule on my own to make sure I got it right and found out I got it wrong.
