Would it help if C. read, "Placing and keeping a hand on a ball handler" instead?

I think it is E but not good wording on the C answer.

I hate when they try to "gotcha" with a word or two left out that does not change the meaning of their answer or the question.

Both NCAA-M and NFHS had some questionable wording on their tests this year.

Our state's version only had 98 questions (I wonder if they removed two bad questions) and I got the 3 remaining really ambiguous questions wrong. I mean, 97% isn't terrible, but I'm usually good for 100% when the questions aren't poorly written.

We need to take both parts and I'd love to see it reduced to one better exam.

We have a state-only version in Illinois and it only is 25 questions. Usually 50 plus options for those 25 questions and scrambled. So we are given all the questions and answer them in our individual tests.

Rich and I are in the same state, and this is the only question I missed, purely because "and keep" wasn't part of the wording in option C. I guess this is what happens when you try to split hairs with the NFHS!

The NCAA test had some rather bad questions. And the only way you would know some of the answers is if you had seen the NCAA videos, which was not available to everyone at first. Unless you were a D1 official and were allowed to attend the virtual meetings, you might not have known what was being discussed with some of the questions. But again often the D1 guys get the information and everyone else has to wait.

Same (generally) for the NCAAW test. It's a bear and you can only get some of the answers from the video -- which isn't available until a couple of weeks after the test opens. Plus, I don't think they ever post the correct answers, so you can't really learn from what you missed.
