Test Question (NFHS Rules)

c. antenna fault
d. net fault
The "correct" answer that is being sought according to 5.8.3 SITUATION in the Casebook and Manual, page 19, is "a. out".

IMHO, I believe the more accurate call is "c. antenna fault" because the fault occurred when the ball contacted the antenna, not when it landed out of bounds. Maybe we can get it changed in the future.

c. A replay may be declared when there is a double foul.
d. None of the above
a. True - see 9-8-1a.
b. False - also 9-8-1a...the whistle did not interrupt play.
c. True - see 9-8-1d.
d. Doesn't apply because "b" IS false.

I want someone to explain how this could be called any other way.
