Please tell me the right call.

Ball goes out of bounds. Referee signals Team A. Team B steps out of bounds and the referee hands the ball to the wrong team (team B) Correctable or not?

Clay

Correctable until the ball is inbounded.

So what you are telling me is, If the offical gives the ball to the wrong team and they make the throw in and head for their basket the mistake in not correctable?

Clay

It's not a correctable error. It is an official's error. It can be corrected up to the time that the ball touches an in-bounds player on the throw-in. After that, we gotta live with our mistake.

Same concept as case book play 6.4.1SitD.

thank you for your help. I have another question.

Can a personal foul occur during a dead ball or is it a "T"?

Dead ball fouls are techinical.

Yup, a personal foul can occur when the ball is dead if it involves contact by or on an airborne shooter.

See rule 4-19-1 and rule 4-19-5(c).

Ok, I am now confused.

Here is the question.

A personal foul cannot occur during a dead ball True/FAlse

False.

See the rules that I cited above.

Thanks JR. I have found it and have a better understanding of the rule and how it is used.

Ok here are some more questions.

1.Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent. True/False

2. B1 has established a legal guarding psoition and may maintain that position even while airbone, provide he/she is inbounds. True/False.

3. After obtaining an initial legal position , the guard must continur to face the oppomemt to maintain legal position. True/false

4. The ball becomes dead when A2 fouls before A1's field goal try is in flight. True/False.

5.The ball becomes dead if A1 has started a try for goal, but B1 fouls A2 before the ball is in flight. True/False.

6. Both the foul and the violation are penalized if , during a try for field goal by A1, B1 fouls A1 and B2 commits basket interference. True/False.

7. Goaltending a free throw is both a violation and a techinical foul. True/False.

8. There are no restrictions in the area of the team jersey from the base of the neckline to the shoulder seam. True/False.

9. If a players shirt is not properly tucked inside the pants, the official shall direct him or her to leave the game unless the tean is subseqently granted a time out. True/False.

Thanks again guys for all your help. As i read the rule book these are the questions I am not sure of and the rule book sometimes can be confusing.

I think you should scan all the questions, then post it on here and see who will help you pass the test.

I wish I could, but these are the questions I missed on my test scored a 91% Sometimes the questions can be more of an english test than a rules test. They word the question to confuse you. When I look up the rule these are the one that the rule did not make sense to me.

Thanks for you help and I will keep reading to have a better understanding of how the rules are written.

Yea, the rulebook can be confusing. But instead of just asking for true/false answers to questions, you should be asking to understand the situations described, and the variations that might be important.

For instance,


3. After obtaining an initial legal position , the guard must continur to face the oppomemt to maintain legal position. True/false

instead of just knowing whether or not that's true, you need to be asking why. What are all the rules that apply? How might the situation change to make the statement the other way round? What are the legal definitions of "guard," "legal position", "facing", and "opponent"? And so forth. WHen does this rule apply, and when doesn't it?

If you word the questions yourself, then you'll get an accurate picture from the answers to those questions, and from then on, you'll be able to get the answers right on the test AND you'll be able to administer the rules better on the floor.

There are only 2 possible answers. So if you got these wrong, you already know what their answers should be, right? :)

Chuck -- Don't be so rational!!

Not necessarily. ;)

He knows what the grader thinks the answers *should* be.

But, maybe the grader got the wrong answers.

Maybe the test maker put donw the wrong answer.

Maybe Clay's answer on the sheet wasn't clear.

...

That said --

Clay will get a better response if he looks these questions up in the book and posts a questiosn such as "I answered True, and rule 1-2-3 seems to support this, but the test has ana answer of False. What am I missing/"
