IAABO Refresher Mechanics Exam #79

[BillyMac]

Our IAABO Refresher Exam study group met last night. We could not come up with a consensus on mechanics question #62. We did not have access to an answer sheet, nor to an appropriate citation.

#79 In transition, the new Trail has primary responsibility for all backcourt violations and rulings. Is this correct?

We used page 266 of the IAABO manual: Segment 4, Line Coverage, A 2, “The Trail official is … primarily responsible for all backcourt rulings.

Does the word “transition” have any impact on this statement?

2 or 3 man crew?

In 3-man, C generally will be best position on anything that occurs between the two free throw lines.

2 man, its the new Trail's baby.

Crew of two.

In that case, its new Trail unless its very early in transition and new Lead is close to the division line

So, what's the stronger word in the mechanic question and citation?

"Transition" or "primarily"?

I believe it's ""primarily", so I'm going with "yes" for an answer, the mechanic is correct.

Anybody disagree?
