NFHS Part 2 Exam

[Matt S.]

Just submitted it. And passed with room to spare... but just want to warn the masses, there are a couple of 'correct' answers that are simply wrong.

I know, not a surprise...

I got 100% on my exam, so I think what you say is Fake News.

Or you had the answers in advance

64 & 65 both have multiple correct answers...that's what bugs me most...

Care to post those two questions (or provide them in a private message)? I'd love to see what they are and what the possible answers are.

I only have access to Part 1 (which I've completed).

Part 1 had a question with 2 correct answers (Question 1 about direct technicals on a coach). It also had one question that was either ambiguous or just wrong depending on how you read it (the one on goaltending and entering the basket from below).

64. The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when:
A) Time expires for a quarter or period, unless the ball is in flight for a try for goal.
B) An official's whistle is blown.
C) A player-control foul or team-control foul is called.
D) All of the above.

65. The ball is dead when:
A) A violation is committed by the free-throw team.
B) An official's whistle sounds.
C) Time expires for a quarter, except when a try is in flight.
D) All of the above.

I have 'C'.
-'A' fails to include airborne shooters
-'B' for obvious reasons

I have 'A' for the same reasons as above.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what the confusion is unless "All of the above" is unlcear.

Rule 6-7:

The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when:
ART. 4 . . . A player-control or team-control foul occurs.
ART. 5 . . . An official’s whistle is blown (see exceptions a and b below).
ART. 6 . . . Time expires for a quarter or extra period (see exception a below).
ART. 8 . . . A free-throw violation by the throwing team, as in 9-1, occurs.

Trying to decipher all the posts. Which answers are true? Did someone try to explain that 64A and 65C are false because there is no mention of the shooter being airborne?
