True/false
1. The basketball shall be spherical and have a deeply pebbled cover with any number of horizontally shaped panels?
Everything in this question is true and is in the book exactly except for the "ANY NUMBER" part of it, it just says it must have panels, doesn't specify the number or if it can have ANY number....

2. After any team warning for delay, it is a team technical foul if the free throw is delayed because of a Team huddle or contact with the free thrower?
All parts of this question are true, except for the last part, wouldn't contact with the free thrower be a Individual Technical foul on the player that makes the contact, would not be a team technical right?

3. Basket interference or goaltending by an opponent of the free thrower results in scoring of the point plus a technical foul?
I know it's a T, just couldn't remember seeing if we count the point for the free throw too, i would assume so, just wanted to make sure.

4. It is permissble to withdraw a player before the clock starts following his or her substitution into the game.
A1 injured can't shoot free throws, A6 comes in to shoot, after shots,sub A7 comes in for A6, legal from case book. So just because this is permissable in this situation would that make this statement true?

5. It is a violation when during a designated spot throw in by A1, A2 is out of bounds.
I first said false, because it's a Technical foul when A2 goes out of bounds, but then i thought i may be reading to much into it, and thought that YES, it's a violation, but the penalty for this violation is a technical foul, so depending on how you look at it, it could be either.
