Bob is correct, Barry. The statement is false. The rulebook states, "The coach or captain shall designate the free thrower(s)." Since the test question leaves out the captain and contains the word "shall", it is false. If the question had read, "The coach CAN designate...", it would have made the statement true. But you have to read "shall" as "must."
Everytime the question has appeared on a NF exam, the answer has been false.
