NFHS messes up GT and BI
Thought that I would post another messed up NFHS exam question.
"If a goaltending violation is penalized for touching the ball entering the basket from below:" Yet the NFHS definition of goaltending is: "Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball during a field-goal try or tap while the ball is in its downward flight entirely above the basket ring level, has the possibility of entering the basket in flight and is not touching the basket cylinder or a player touches the ball outside the cylinder during a free-throw attempt." So the scenario proposed by the NFHS in the exam question does not qualify as goaltending! The question should involve basket interference. |

Either IAABO's Rules Examination Committee or its Officials Education and Development Committee would be two such groups; I am sure that the California Basketball Officials Association has standing committees that could handle such an assignment; and the Ohio Association of Basketball Officials is another such organization that could handle such an assignment as well.

What was the question even supposed to be about? I'm lucky that my answer on the DC rules test was correct, but I had no idea what the point was supposed to be.
I don't believe that there could be either BI or GT on this play, because GT requires a ball on its downward flight toward the basket, with a chance to score, and BI requires a ball on or inside the basket to be contacted, and the play in the question had neither. A ball entering the basket from below is a separate violation, so the ball would be dead before either BI or GT could apply. Last edited by ilyazhito; Wed Oct 03, 2018 at 03:09pm. |

Not necessarily....it doesn't say.

Even so, the ball may or may not be in the basket at the time it is touched. It is possible for a player to reach through the basket from below and touch/block a shot that has not yet entered the cylinder/basket. Either what, that is BI, not GT. BI Rule: Quote:

Hagar The Horrible ...
Horrible to say the least. When something is written to be printed and distrusted to a large number of recipients, doesn't somebody else edit, or at least read, such a document?

I do. However, the DC Board (Board 12) no longer works public high school games in DC (other organizations have the contracts for public and charter school games), so Board 12 members don't usually take the DC test. I do, because I also belong to the organization that does have the DC public schools contract, and because I want the practice taking an earlier rules test (DC releases its tests earlier than MD and VA), so that I can do better on the MD and VA tests.

The question is intended to test your knowledge of the correct enforcement of 9-12 Penalty 3, but fails because it states goaltending instead of basket interference.
9-12 Penalty 3: "If the violation results from touching the ball while it is in the basket after entering from below, no points are scored and the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation." The question is poorly written, but attempts to describe the ball entering the net from below, yet not clearing the ring, and while inside of the net a player touches it. |
