NFHS Free Throw Question

[Da Official]

Any takers...found this on the State Basketball test...Please list supporting evidence.


It is a violation if B1 leaves a marked lane space when the ball leaves the free thrower's hand(s) and breaks the plane of the free-throw line before restrictions end for the free thrower. (True/False).

If you do a search of the forum you'll find your answer and supporting evidence.

Depends if the free throw shooter is on Team A or Team B.

LOL....I think in most cases Team A usually has the ball or was in last possession of the ball...good one though.

How?

The OP doesn't specify whether a team A or B player is shooting the free throws.

I have. Check the POE, it is not a violation for a teammate of the free throw shooter to cross the free throw line before restrictions have ended on the free throw shooter. The OP does not specify who is shooting the free throws, which makes the question unanswerable due to lack of information.

Now if you are saying use common sense to know B1 is an opponent of the free throw shooter then that's a whole different thing entirely.

To anyone interested in helping me I'm trying to get expert advice on this question. I missed it on the test and believe its one of those "bad" test questions but trying to see if I just misunderstood or if there are any officials with the same answer I had.

Also, I tried to search using the question and couldn't find any other threads. If someone could send me the thread(s) in question it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Isn't it the convention for A to be the shooting team?

Well I'm sure you know what happens when people start assuming things...

It's standard format and should be assumed unless noted otherwise. Only yeah-but officials would to try argue that point.
