Part 2 Help???

[BearBoy]

I've got five questions from the NFHS Part 2 basketball exam that prompted some discussion among several of us in our exam review session. Would appreciate your interpretations on the following....

#5. The alternating-possession procedure is used when a double personal foul is called while A1's unsuccessful try is in flight. False

....now I'm not exactly sure here, but the double personal foul causes "point-of-interruption" spot throw-in....not AP, however, does the unsuccesful try (no team control) have any significance to this statement?

#14. It is a requirement to have an "X" on the floor in front of the official scorer to avoid reporting errors. True

.....1.17 states the "X" shall be placed.... does 'shall' infer 'required'?

#16. The basketball shall be spherical and have a deeply pebbled cover with any number of horizontally shaped panels. True

.....maybe a dumb question in your mind, but we were concerned with the words "any number". Did this raise an issue with anyone else? Rule 1.12.1b & c covers this statement, but does not specify any number of required horizontally shaped panels.

#35. The officials' jurisdiction ends when the referee approves the final score. False

.....2.2.4 refers to officials' jurisdiction terminates and the final score approved when all officials leave the visual confins of the playing area.

#62. It is a technical foul for a player to purposely obstruct the vision of an opponent with or without the ball. True

.....10.3.7d classifies this as a technical foul, but is a bit tricky because we can't find anything referring to the the person "without" the ball. Can this make the statement False?
