Yes, if they're white.
I'd blow it dead if it was sailing into stands, yes. It's headin into an unplayable area. I think it's in the book somewhere (I'll have to start bringing my book to work ) I believe it's a safety deal too.
Sometimes we have bball hoops down so they are in playing area. If player is hustling to get the ball and ball hits backboard, replay. But this is only in the playing area. if hoops are down over the unplayable area then ball is out.


and yes we go over substitutions and area. sometimes I'll even rattle off the libero procedure. We call it preventive officiating. I think that's in the case book. We don't want to have to do all the work. Something simple like: players enter this zone ahead of attack line, give R2 your number and the number you are subbing in for; If multi, the 2nd set of subs stay behind the attack line until I call you in. I work in PA.
