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 |

In all seriousness, is this a trick question? MTD, Sr. |
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 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. |

Questions like this do nothing to improve rules knowledge.

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!

The question was "When it's a designated spot throw-in, the spot is closest to the violation." |
The question isn't asking if it's a "Designated Spot Throw", its just saying the spot where the ball will be inbounded for the following is closest to where it took place. Isn't it?

I am now in full agreement that this is a very poorly worded question! |
Sometimes you have to wonder about the people writing the NFHS tests.Here at least in volleyball and I would assume the same holds true in basketball the exam is poured over with a fine tooth comb and edited.If a question cannot be edited to the point where it is a fair question the answer is given to the group as a free question.Most years there are about 4/5
