Those of us that have taken these idiot proof... no, no, no, prove-you're-not-an-idiot, tests for many years recognize that some of these questions could be justified as true or as false.
I think that this one was intended to be True. Airborne shooter is fouled. Whistle blows. Clock stops. Live ball goes through hoop. Goal counts. That was my reasoning.
Or how about a free throw. Ball is live when you give it to the shooter and it is live until it goes through the hoop and the clock never runs.
I think the principle being tested is that the ball can be live when the clock is not running.
Odds are 50-50 that any one of us got it correct.
