Does the English language term 'within' include the endpoints?
That is to say, when we say 'within 5 seconds', do we mean 'at any time, howsoever close, but before we get to 5'? Or do we mean 'at any time, howsoever close, including 5'?
1. ? On a throw-in, the ball must be released
within 5 seconds.
2. False. Team A may not be in continuous control of a ball which is in the backcourt (has backcourt location) for 10 seconds.
3. ? On a free throw, the ball must be released
within 10 seconds.
4. True. The belted coach can only stand during charged time-outs and to request service from the table, or to remove players from the game . . . I think.
5. Glug.
6. Where I officiate, for high school contests, not only must it be an adult, by state regulation, it must be an adult authorized by the principal or athletic director or their authorized surrogate.
