Incorrect Test Answers

The question should be whether a violation has occurred.

The ball is not live until it is at the disposal of the shooter, which is when he/she catches it: 6-1-2c, 4-4-7b, 9-1-3d, f, g.

Accordingly, no violation has occurred.

Therefore, blow the whistle, verify that everyone is ready, and restart the free throw.

Good point, I should have made that point when bluedevil brought up the other scenario.

How is this not a live ball before the violation? A1 catches the ball and then B3 moves into an unoccupied lane space. Delayed violation.

A1 is at the free throw line for a single try. The official bounces the ball towards A1, and does not see that B3 is trying to get to the 3rd lane space on the opposite side. By the time A1 catches the ball, B3 is crossing the free throw line, moving into the 3rd lane space. The officials stop the free throw, take the ball from the shooter, and allow the players to reset along the lane. No violation is called.

true or false

Based on the OP, I would say that the ball being caught by A1, and B3 entering happen simultaneously, not in series. I think that gives us the wiggle room to be able to say, "Hold up, my bad" and reload. If the shooter clearly has it, and THEN B3 enters, delayed violation.

By the book yes. But as it has been stated the acceptable approach is that we blow the whistle get the ball back and start over. Shouldn't punish a team because we were in a rush.

Oh I agree entirely, if its even remotely close I will kill it. I've never once had a coach make any sort of argument that there may have been a violation. Now if its 2 seconds after A1 has it? Too late

Agree 100%.
