So, using my friend’s 99/100 as a clue (see previous post), and against my better judgment, I answered #17 as no and got 100/100.
So why do I not feel great, getting a 100% for the first time ever, going back forty-five years?
Not because I cheated, because we are encouraged to collaborate on the exam, I even attended the only available "live" study group (I hate Zoom meetings).
So why do I not feel great?
Because I honestly believe that the answer to #17 should have been yes.
Instead of standing up for what I believe to be right, I took the easy path to a 100%.
A bittersweet victory.
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?
6.4.5 SITUATION A: Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in under the alternating procedure. A1 commits a violation. RULING: B’s ball for a throw-in because of the violation. In addition, the possession arrow is reversed and is pointed towards B’s basket. Team B will have the next throw-in opportunity under the alternating procedure. Team A has lost its opportunity by virtue of the violation. A violation by Team A during an alternating-possession throw-in is the only way a team loses its turn under the procedure. COMMENT: If a foul by either team occurs before an alternating-possession throw-in ends, the foul is penalized as required and play continues as it normally would, but the possession arrow is not reversed. The same team will still have the arrow for the next alternating-possession throw-in. The arrow is reversed when an alternating-possession throw-in ends. (6-4-4)
Without my friend's single wrong answer for #86 (corrected by me), I would not have gotten 100%.
Anybody have anything to say about question #17, my citation, or the IAABO yes answer?
