All right here are a bunch of questions and some help would be appreciated. Some are easy but I'm just not too sure.

-----For girls high school is the five second count only in the frontcourt and only after the dribble has ended? Holding the ball?

1.Does the arrow switch- halftime? If Team B has the arrow at the end of first half does that mean they will start with the ball in the second half? If Team A gets the jump to start the game does that mean Team B gets it in the second even though the arrow was pointing to team A to end the first half?

2.When a player saves a ball does he/she have to get two feet in? Or one foot other not touching out? Can they dribble after saving it? If A1 is dribbling fumbles the ball then he can’t dribble again? If he saves the ball after it fumbles then I assume he can’t dribble it. If A1 catches a pass and it goes off his hands and then he saves it can he dribble the ball?

3.If A1 goes for a layup gets blocked and then fouled by a second player or the same player say on the landing- when does the shot end—would it be on the ground?

4.I’m not totally clear on 3 seconds.
Guy goes in the lane for two seconds- get passes the ball holds it for 3 or 4 seconds then passes it? Is that 3 seconds,, if not should he get out of the lane right away- or would the ref count to 3 before making the call? If he was in the lane for two seconds, gets the ball, two seconds more and then passes it out is that a 3 second count if he doesn’t get out of the lane within a new 3 second count.

5.Airball- shot- can he dribble it? Does it matter if it hit the ground?

6.On the free throws the players have to wait til the ball hits the rim? Not the backboard.

6.B—Say at the end of the game, a free throw misses bounces away without touching anyone. The timer started the clock. Time runs out. If this is a timer mistake then the ref can put time back on the clock but how do you know who gets the ball. I assume it alternates but if team A the free throw shooting team gets the ball I could see that team B would be upset. If Team B is clearly going to get the rebound or gets the ball and then time runs out would the ball go to Team B with time on the clock? OR at the end of the half a team rolls the ball in so the clock doesn't start, but the timer starts it too early. If the ref doesn't see this and a shot is made but after the buzzer is it waived off even if without a doubt the shot would have been legal if the clock started on time. I would assume the play wouldn't count.

7 510 1E in the Case book- Does clock always run, after a made basket? I thought it stopped. Does it run once a player has the ball and is ready to throw it again? Or is this just late in the game.


8- Backcourt- Again not too clear. Mainly I want to know when the frontcourt is established. Can A1 with both feet in the backcourt dribble in the frontcourt and then back to the backcourt?
Can A1 step with one foot or both feet in the frontcourt but the ball dribbling in the backcourt? And then return the feet back to the backcourt?
I saw a player run along the midcourt- one foot in the backcourt the other in the front court dribbling the ball in the backcourt and then the frontcourt and back again. So the ball and one foot was at times in the front court but not both feet.

If a train leaves Boston and 10 am traveling 45 mph and Train B leaves Houston ---...

---Is it walking if a player who is on the ground after a loose ball gets to one knee holding the ball? Or if on the ground tries to dribble it and stands or gets to one knee?

After a 3 seconds call where is the location for the inbounds throw? For fouls or violations not on the baseline is the inbounds throw always freethrow line extended or above? If it is a charge near the basket does it go on the side or baseline? I heard something about not having throwins in front of a visiting teams bench. If the ball goes out there do you just throw it in there?
