264 a. A1 ends her dribble and jumps to shoot. While in the air, she realizes that her shot will get blocked so she voluntarily throws the ball to the playing court and is the first to touch it.
0 b. A1 attempts to catch the ball while running. A1 does not control the ball but tips it in the air while taking 3 steps; she then secures the ball and begins a dribble.
2 c. A1 attempts a try at Team A’s basket after her dribble has ended. The try does not touch the backboard, the ring or flange or any other player. A1 runs and catches the ball before it strikes the playing court.
1 d. A1, while airborne, catches the ball to prevent it from going out of bounds. She throws the ball onto the court as her momentum takes her out of bounds. She then returns inbounds and is the first to touch the ball.
74 e. A1 rebounds the ball and falls to the floor without ever establishing a pivot foot.
Correct Answer: A Reference: 9-6; A.R.'s 100; 103; 181; 182
Total responses: 341 % Correct: 77- COMMENTARY: Answer A is actually a double-dribble violation and not a travel since her dribble ended and she started another dribble when she voluntarily threw the ball to the floor. Although answer A is not a travel, it is the only violation in the list of options. This play was taken from A.R. 182 which is erroneously located under traveling. These two facts may be why 77% of test takers answered it correctly. Option E is not a travel since a pivot foot had never been established.
