Television replay equipment or monitoring equipment may be placed away from the court and information relayed to the coach on the bench during the game.

That was a change in the last year or two. Previously, it was a technical foul.

I think they changed it since, with the proliferation high tech gear everywhere around us, it would be impossible to control and judge.

They are up now and have been for a few weeks now. Web access only but they are available and searchable.

A case play covers that question better, actually.

Here's one from the test:

Q: If the timer erroneously runs the clock for more than five seconds, the referee has no authority to put five seconds on the clock.

False, 5-10, case plays from 5.10.1

False

Where's the definite knowledge of 5 seconds?

Or are you saying that if I know at least 5 seconds ran off it's perfectly OK for me to put 5 on, even though that's not an accurate number?

Oh, so it's a trick question? B/c we are definitely allowed to put time on the clock. That's the kind of crap I don't like on these tests.

"...the referee has no authority to put five seconds on the clock." is false b/c the referee does have that authority; whether or not he had definite knowledge is not addressed.

I don't have my rule books in front of me, but they do mention something about using counts to go by--5 second closely guarded, 10 second count. I have a habit of looking at the clock when my partner has a whistle, especially late in the game just for these kinds of things.

It is a given. If you know that at least 5 seconds elapsed you know it. The rule says nothing about the knowledge being compete or accurate. You put back as much as you know...but no more.

Why? Those are about the most clear words. What is wrong with them?

You have to assume that they are interpreted correctly and defined as such in the rules.
