Incorrectly Answered ...

For you perusal, here are the eight most often incorrectly answered IAABO Refresher Exam "rules" questions by my local board.

Note: I got #48 and #66 incorrect.

#7 A1 attempts a pass to A2 in Team A’s backcourt. The ball hits Team B’s basket and deflects directly back to A1, who catches the ball and starts a dribble. The official rules a legal play. Is this correct?
NO, Rules 4-4-5, 4-15-1, 4-15-4 and 9-5

#11 The home (official) scorebook is taken to Team A’s locker room at halftime. The officials assess a technical foul to Team A. Is this correct?
NO, Rule 2-11-11, casebook situation 2-11-11

#14 During a designated spot throw-in, thrower A1 passes the ball to A2. While out of bounds, A1 takes several steps laterally and then enters the playing court. Upon entry, A1 receives a pass from A2. The official rules a legal play. Is the official correct?
NO, Rule 10-4-2

#41 Both teams are in the bonus. While A1 is dribbling, B1 tips the ball away. During the scramble for the loose ball, A1 pushes B1 and is charged with a common foul. The official awards B1 a bonus free throw. Is this
correct?
NO, Rules 4-19-7, 4-12-3, 4- 12-4

#48 With 4 minutes remaining in the quarter, A1, in the backcourt, throws a pass toward A5 in the frontcourt. The pass hits the ring and rebounds, untouched, back to A1 in the backcourt. The officials allow play to continue. Is this correct?
NO, Rule 4-12-3, 9-9-2

#64 The alternating possession arrow is pointing towards Team B’s basket, when A1 drives into the lane collides with B3 while dribbling the ball. One official signals a block and the other signals a player-control foul. The officials rule a double foul and award the ball to Team A on the end line. Is this correct?
YES, Rules 4-19-8a, 4-36-1, 4-36-2a

#66 B1 is directly behind A1,who receives the ball in the low post. As A1 turns to try for a goal, B1’s hands and arms extend vertically in a slightly downward (note: my exam said "forward") position. A1’s arm contacts B1’s arms. The official rules
a foul on B1. Is the official correct?
NO, Rules 4-24-1, 4-45-3

#69 During A1’s 2nd free throw attempt, A2 commits a violation by crossing the 3-pt arc near the free throw line extended. Team B is awarded the ball on the end line for a designated spot throw-in. Is this correct?
NO, Rule 7-5-2c
