Three Basketball Out of Bounds Scenarios

[Wildcat Larry]

#1 - An offensive player grabs a rebound. One of his teammates is standing out of bounds. The player grabbing the rebound loses his balance and is starting to fall. His teammate (who is still out of bounds) pushes him back upright. What's the call? Is the ball deemed out of bounds?

#2 - An offensive player grabs a rebound. An opponent is out of bounds. In gathering himself, the offensive player's arm brushes up against the opponent who is standing out of bounds. What's the call, if any? Is it out on the opposition? Is it a no call?

#3 - An player grabs a rebound and is in bounds but inadvertently brushes up against the referee who is out of bounds. I know the ref is considered part of the court, but if he's out of bounds is he considered part of the out of bounds territory and thus it's a turnover?

#1 Out of Bounds.

#2 Out of Bounds on opponent. Ball is inbounded by rebounding team.

#3 Out of Bounds on rebounding team. It is the same as when a loose ball hits the referee who is out of bounds.
