For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
The free throws offset. Go to the possession arrow for a half court throw in.
In NFHS rules a shooter can be the first to retrieve an "air ball shot" as long as it was a legitimate try for a basket (in the opinion of the officials).
Ok. First there is no possession on the tip. So player A1 (jumper) tips the ball - no possession. Then, the ball comes to A2 who tips the ball to B1.
If A2 tipped the ball in a controlled manner, then A2 had possession and the arrow is set to team B. If A2 did not control the ball when A2 tipped it, then team B got the first possession and the arrow is set to team A.
No, it should be called only when it affects the outcome. By the way, travelling and palming (carrying the ball) are still violations.

Yes, player A lost control of the ball caused by the defender. There is no provision which states the ball must hit the floor after being batted away before recovering. So, yes A can dribble again.
delay of game are team technicals, not attributed to a player. They do count toward the bonus
Yes. If a referee deems conditions unsafe for players, spectators or officials he should notify home management that the refs can no longer work under current conditions. Without refs the game should not be played.
