A-1 attempts a 3-point try but it falls short (air ball) and the ball hits inbounds. The ball is headed out of bounds. A-2 saves the ball by catching it while airborne from inbounds and throwing the ball back into the court. The ball bounces in front court and then in the backcourt without being touched. A-3 recovers the loose ball in the backcourt. The official ruled a legal play. Was the official correct?

On the opening jump ball between A1 and B1, after the ball was legally tapped by one of the jumpers, the ball was tied up by players A2 and B2, without either team having gained possession of the ball. The referee ruled that the original jumpers A1 and B1 should return to the center circle for a re-jump. Was the referee correct?

The Center official sounds his whistle and rules a traveling violation. The ball goes through the goal. Handle the situation.

A-5 scores a goal. B-1 grabs the ball after it passes through the net and jumps into the air with both feet leaving the floor inbounds. Before B-1 lands out-of-bounds, he passes to B-2 who is in-bounds. The Trail official sounds his whistle, rules no violation and awards the ball to B-1 for an end line throw-in do-over. Was the official correct?
