We're pretty sure that he got a different question incorrect:

86) The Trail is responsible for signaling all three-point tries, regardless from whose PCA the try originates.

He answered yes, probably incorrrect due to this:

IAABO Mechanics Manual Page 270 Segment 6 Three Point Try Coverage
B. Only the official from whose PCA the try originates signals the three‑point try.


However:

17) Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in under the alternating-possession procedure. A-1’s throw-in is kicked by A-2. The official awards the ball to Team B and has the scorer turn the arrow toward Team B’s basket. Is the official correct?

He answered no to this, and since he only got one wrong, probably #86, the correct answer to #17 must be his no answer.

So what's the correct answer, or is this a matter of IAABO carelessly omitting a single word, as already mentioned by bob jenkins?
