Copy of the NFHS Part 1 Questions

[brainbrian]

Does anyone have a copy of the basketball part 1 test from this year?

Don't worry, I don't need the answers, just the questions.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in VA we take our test online (no more paper) and it's not available until 1 Nov.

52) The officials' jurisdiction actually begins in the dressing room???? The book said that when they arrive on the floor. So i would think that the answer would be false. Can someone help me out here, or is the dressing apart of the floor.

Trust your first instinct.

[s2n]

question 65-the rule states that a player who has been replaced,or directed to leave the game shall not re-enter before the next opportunity to substitute after the clock has been started properly following his or her replacement. So i think that the answer is false, a coach cant take a time-out to keep his player in the game. T or F?

Read rule 3 for a better understanding.

[s2n]

if a player is directed to leave the game for a violation of the UNIFORM RULE- the coach may call a time-out to keep the player in the game? I think that the answer would be False- because art4- a player who has been replaced,or directed to leave the game shall not re-enter before the next opportunity to sub after the clock has been started properly following his her replacement.

Correct. The team may only take a time-out to keep a player in the game who was injured or is bleeding, has an open wound, had blood on his/her person or uniform.

Uniform violations do not fall under either of those provisions, so the team cannot do it. The rule references are 3-3-6 and 3-3-7.


PS Skeeter, please remove your posts containing the test questions. Some states/areas use the test for assignments or promotion and this makes it too easy to cheat or at least have an unfair advantage. If Skeeter doesn't do it, I would ask that a moderator step in and do so.

If a player wears the uniform pants below the hips, he or she shall be directed to leave the game? I would think that the answer would be true.... but the rule book said that there is no rules for pants. Not sure on this one

[rsl]

look at 3-3

Of course there's rules about pants. I'm guessing you're a "playah" who wants to be saggin. Sorry dude.

3-3-4: A player not wearing the pants/skirt properly and above the hips
and/or a player not tucking in a team jersey designed to be worn inside the
pants/skirt, shall be directed to leave the game.
