The key word here is "put." In the case above the player is said to "put" the ball on the floor. In the start of a dribble the player is said to "push the ball to the floor." This indicates a bounce.

Probably because it would be a little more difficult to control it in the form of a dribble and just putting the ball down on the floor. As a dribble, it has some greater change of getting away from the player.

I always thought that it was to show who the cheaters are. The people who get a copy of the answer key will get 100% while clearly answering those two or three questions incorrectly. Nearly everyone else in the group who reads and answers the questions with their own mind will have those questions scored as incorrect, but the test-giver will know that they really know the rule and didn't cheat.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it. :rolleyes:

Any of you cheaters who read this, make sure you get a few wrong so you don't bring attention to yourself.

If it were true, it wouldn't be about getting a couple of random questions wrong. It would be a couple of very specific questions that no one should get wrong. Sort of the "control" in the experiment.

That said, I doubt the NFHS is doing that.

Interesting thought...I used to send messages to the NFHS asking for clarification on some of those "wrong" answers. Most of the time they would admit the mistake. Then Washington started using their own tests and not the NFHS one. So I didn't care anymore.

I was joking. The whole idea is stupid.

This was my thought as well....Seems it would be an illegal dribble and not traveling...

I'm using that as the reason I've never gotten a perfect score! Thanks. :o

Could we make it legal in one state first. Lets say Colorado . . . then we can see how it works there ;)
