TRUE - 6.7.7 EXC. c

#67 - The ball becomes dead immediately when the defense commits a violation for leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason.

TRUE - 9.3.3 PEN.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide!

#63 - True as you stated
#67 - False - I do not have my current books, but 06-07 9.3.2 Sit D covers it.

9.3.2 Situation D:	The score is tied 60-60 with four seconds remaining in the game. A1 has a fast break and is near the free-throw line on his/her way to an uncontested lay-up. B5 running down the court near the sideline, intentionally runs out of bounds in the hopes of getting a leaving-the-floor violation called.
Ruling:	B5's intentional violation should be ignored and A1's activity should continue without interruption.
Comment:	Non-contact, away from the ball, illegal defensive violations (i.e. excessively swinging the elbows, leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason) specifically designed to stop the clock near the end of a period or take away a clear advantageous position by the offense should be temporarily ignored. The defensive team should not benefit from the tactic. If time is not a factor, the defense should be penalized with the violation or a technical foul for unsporting behavior. (10-1-8)
