20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
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
It should never get to this but, after a minute or two the coach should be advised that he is risking a second direct technical foul and if he refuses to sit down, he will be ejected from the gym along with that foul.
There is no time specified, but give him a moment to calm down and comply, and if necessary then t him up.

In high school rules unless there is excessive contact beyond wrapping up the player, it would be an intentional foul which imposes 2 free throws plus a throw in.
Share Answer: 
Normally, when you jump in the air you are considered to have status in the area where you alighted from. So, in your case, the ball was established in the front court, you jumped from the backcourt and caught the ball in the air ... violation.There are two exceptions to this rule. 1. Throw ins, and 2. Defense intercepting a pass.
Share Answer: 
In both cases, nearest spot where the foul/violation occurred.

In NFHS rules the referees have jurisdiction from the start of the game to the end of the game when they leave the visual confines of the court. During this period, the harshest penalties the officials can administer are technical fouls and ejections from the game.
However, in many places, the state association can impose further sanctions. In Illinois, for example, if a player is ejected from the game he must sit out the next game. The officials role is to write up an accurate game report and submit it to the state for their consideration.

You can start dribbling while moving the non pivot foot if you have a pivot foot. If you caught the ball in the air, landed on one foot then alighted to land on both, neither can be moved except to jump for a shot.
