I will probably never officiate a perfect game (who has?), but a perfect score on a written exam is possible, but after forty-four exams, time on the clock is quickly running down on me.

I only got two questions wrong. I know why I got #90 wrong.

90) Following time-out, the administering official shall announce jersey color, signal direction and signal the type of throw-in and then sound the whistle just before putting the ball at the disposal of the thrower.

My answer: Yes

Answer Sheet: No Page 42, Section F.1.g
“If following a timeout, intermission, or unusual delay, sound whistle, announce jersey color, signal direction, and signal the type of throwin.”

Question was out of order. Sound the whistle first. While I may disagree with that, that’s what it says in the IAABO Mechanics Manual, so I got it wrong.

I’m still trying to figure out why I got #92 (indicating the throw-in spot) wrong.

My answer: Yes

Answer Sheet: No Page 45 Diagram (bottom)

“This box is set by the administering official before placing the ball at the disposal of thrower.”

I've been told, from the IAABO International co-interpreters, via my local interpreter, that I confused the "ruling" official with "administering" official.

I still don't know why I got it wrong!

If I'm the administering official, I will indicate the throwin spot by either simply pointing to the spot, or by pointing to a spot and then signaling "run the endline".
