Quiz Time ...

Our Connecticut state interpreter has asked me to come up with a few questions from Rule 7 and Rule 8 for possible inclusion in an exam. Can Forum members please peruse my questions and answers and check for errors? It would be very embarrassing for me to submit questions and answers with errors.

Rule 7 Out Of Bounds And The Throwin

1) Inbounder A-1 has a frontcourt endline throwin under his own basket. A-1 lobs the inbound pass over the rectangular backboard to A-2, who catches the inbound pass and scores a goal. Official rules that is a legal play and allows the goal. Is the official correct? No. (7-1-2-b)

2) During the jump ball between A-1 and B-1 to start the game, before the alternating possession procedure has been established, nonjumpers A-2 and B-2 simultaneously cause the ball to go out of bounds. The official rules that play shall be resumed by a jump ball between A-2 and B-2 in the center restraining circle. Is the official correct? Yes. (7-3-2)

3) Inbounder A-1 has a designated spot throwin. Before releasing the inbound pass A-1 moves several feet to his left, outside the three foot wide designated spot. Official rules that A-1 has committed a traveling violation, signals the traveling violation, and awards Team B a designated spot throwin at the original throwin spot. Is the official correct? No. (7-6-3)

4) After a timeout, Team A has a designated spot throwin but does not make a thrower available for the throwin. Team B is ready to play. The administering official uses the resumption of play procedure to prevent delay. The administering official sounds his whistle to indicate play will resume, states that it’s Team A’s ball, points the direction of play, and places the ball on the floor at the designated throwin spot. Is the official correct? Yes. (7-5-1)

5) A-1, while holding the ball near a sideline, inadvertently, and without gaining an advantage, touches a photographer who is out of bounds. Official rules this to be a legal play because to be out of bounds a player must touch the floor, or some object, on or outside a boundary line and people are not considered to be objects. Is the official correct? Yes. (7-1-1)

6) The official mistakenly administers a designated spot throwin to the wrong team, handing the ball to inbounder A-1 when it should have been Team B’s throwin. A-1 completes his inbound pass to A-2, who catches the ball, after which the administering official immediately sounds his whistle after becoming aware of the mistake. The official rules that Team A was given the throwin in error and that the error will be rectified by awarding Team B a throwin at the original designated spot. Is the official correct? No. (7-6-6)

7) Inbounder A-1 has a designated spot throwin and releases an inbound pass toward his own basket. Before the ball is touched by another player the ball becomes lodged between the backboard and the ring. Official rules an alternating possession throwin shall be used to resume play in this situation. Is the official correct? No. (9-2-8)

Rule 8 Free Throw

1) For A-1’s first of a one and one free throw, offensive player A-2 is in the first marked lane space above the neutral zone mark. After the ball is at the disposal of free thrower A-1 the official notices the illegal alignment. The official sounds his whistle, rules simultaneous violations by both teams, and resumes play by the team entitled to the alternating possession throwin from the designated out of bounds spot nearest to where the simultaneous violation occurred. Is the official correct? Yes. (8-1-4-b)

2) After a timeout, Team A has a free throw but free thrower A-1 is outside the free throw semicircle and is not available for the free throw. The administering official charges free thrower A-1 with a delay of game technical foul for failing to be in the free throw semicircle when the official is ready to administer the free throw. Is the official correct? No. (8-1-2)

3) B-1 is charged with a technical foul for a pregame dunk. A-6, who is not a designated starter, substitutes for A-1, who was a designated starter, and A-6 will attempt the free throws awarded to Team A for the technical foul by B-1. The official rules that this is a legal play. Is the official correct? Yes. (8-3)

4) A-1, who is not in the act of shooting, is intentionally fouled by B-1 and is awarded two free throws. The official rules that there will be no players in the marked lane spaces and that the nine nonshooters must remain behind division line. Is the official correct? No. (8-1-5)

5) A-1, who is in the act of shooting while behind the three point arc, is fouled by B-1. A-1’s field goal attempt is unsuccessful. A-1 is awarded three free throws. A-1 is injured on the play and is removed from the game. Substitute A-6 replaces injured A-1. A-2 attempts the three free throws awarded to injured A-1. The official rules that this is a legal play. Is the official correct? No. (8-2)

6) Player A-1 releases a free throw attempt. B-1, occupying a marked free throw lane space, crosses the free throw line after the release and enters the free throw semicircle before the ball touches the ring, the backboard, or until the free throw ends. B-1 does not contact A-1. A-1’s free throw attempt bounces off the ring and is unsuccessful. After signaling a delayed free throw violation with an extended fist, the official calls a free throw violation on B-1 and allows A-1 a substitute free throw attempt. Is the official correct? Yes (Rule 9-1-3h)
