Test question
We got our test results. I just saw mine. The following was one of the questions, obviously because of the "rule change" this year. What say you?
A1, in front court near the division line, has their pass blocked by B1, the ball flying in the air towards backcourt. A1 then touches the ball before stepping on the division line, grabbing the ball while stepping into backcourt. Officials allow play to continue. True or False

Four questions? All true, violation, answer is true. Any false, no violation, answer is false.
1. Team control inbounds? 2. Ball had frontcourt status? 3. Team A last to touch the ball BEFORE the ball returned to the backcourt? 4. Team A first to touch the ball AFTER the ball returned to the backcourt?

If he first touched the ball with frontcourt status, it’s a violation. The “rule change” only applies to players who have backcourt status and give the ball backcourt status by touching it.

Second, there's nothing in the question that indicates whether it's true or false that "officials allow play to continue." If the officials did allow play to continue, the officials were incorrect. |

Yeah, I just needed verification, in case I misread it, even after reading it multiple times. For whatever reason, they screwed up. This is usually the case on one or more questions.

"True or False: Were the officials correct?" also doesn't make much sense, at least to me. |

As someone with both a B.S. and M.S. (with an additional thirty college credits beyond my M.S.) in education and over thirty years of experience in the classroom, my middle school students would be all over this like white on rice complaining about a poorly worded, confusing, unfair question, and they would be right.
