Spot Throw-in Test Question
The designated out of bounds spot for the throw-in is nearest where the violation occurs for violations, goaltending, basket interference, and free throw violations when no additional free throws awarded.
true or false

If the defense commits basket interference then award two points for team A, and B gets an end line throw in as if it followed a basket. So this should be false as there is a scenario in which it is not designated spot

I'm fairly certain it wasn't intended as a trick, but whether it was or wasn't, I had to check one of the two answers.

Horrible question as you know. If it isn't a trick and just really poorly written it should be false. The rules call it a "designated spot throw in." The throw in is the noun. We know what that is. When they say "designated spot for the throw in" you could read that simply as where they hand team ball to begin with...bad question all around. They should have used" designated spot throw-in" instead of the other. As you know...you've had some real winner questions on that test...

I would answer true.
Part of the NFHS rules state that when the designated spot for a throw-in would be on the end line (in the team's backcourt) the team will have the privilege of makin the throw-in from any point behind the end line. In my opinion, just because the throw-in becomes one that has the running privilege, doesn't mean that designating a spot for it originally wasn't part of the process. The question in the OP is asking how we are to designate the throw-in location. The answer is the nearest spot to the violation. |

In all seriousness, who is writing these test questions? Your board leadership? Your interpreter? If so, I'm deeply disturbed.
If it's just some guys having fun who "kind of" know the rules and want to try to come up with a fake test of their own, OK, but if this is being used as the preseason exam and carries any sort of weight, wow. |

What I find disturbing is that most of us would answer true simply because we have become accustomed to reading what they really meant...lol...because they can't write test questions that actually make sense!

This is how I answered as well. There were a couple of gems this year. My favorite was the one that said, "The ball hits a player and goes out of bounds... true or false?"

Fair enough in that you don't need the explanation. I only included for the rational as to why it is not designated spot, and therefore false.
