Quiz me!

[DC_Ref12]

So, I've been studying my rules and case book pretty intensely for the past month and I can't really gauge where I'm at. Obviously I don't have them down pat but I'd like to know if I'm even progressing. Problem is, I can't find any quizzes or tests online to help me know how I'm doing.

So, I thought I would enlist the help of all of the collective wisdom on this board. Ask me a quiz question and I'll try to give the right answer without looking in my book. If other people want to answer, that's cool, but try and put your answers in spoilers so it doesn't give away the answer to me.

I think this could be fun. Thanks to anybody that wants to help.

Fire away!

1. 1/10 A10. The snap goes off QB A11's hands and the ball rolls to the A7. B21 bats the ball at the A8 and the ball rolls into the end zone where A22 picks up ball in the end zone, runs to the A30, fumbles and B22 recovers.

That's easy - icing!

French FEEBLE game on The Cheese Channel. The Surrendermonkeys beat the Rifledroppers 23.47 to 14.85 (they keep the score in metric) when Jean-Claude Girlyman accidentally bounced the ball off his nose into the other team's basket in the final seconds. The most amusing thing is that when a player is called for a foul, he raises both his hands over his head. The announcer said it is not a rule, just habit. At the end of the game, the loser hoisted a white flag. BTW - their jersey numbers were in metric also and the ball was a rhomboid. They had designer nets and rims.

They must report to the head ref, Croissant, and the three of them will surrender their whistles to Kaiser Roll.

When B22 recovered, did he just lay on the ground with it, or did he start to run with it? If so, which direction, and did he score or was he tackled, and if so, where was he tackled at? Were there any fouls that occurred during the run by B22?

I just can't bring myself to shell out money for practice tests right now when I'm already spending hundreds of dollars for dues, clothes, equipment, camp, insurance, etc etc etc.

Take the case book, cover the answers as you read the situations, and then see if you know the answers correctly!

This was originally posted by just another ref in another thread. Not too difficult, but something you should know without thinking too long.


1. Held ball situation, possession arrow favors team A. Player A1 takes the ball out of bounds. He extends the ball across the line and out over the court, where B1 grabs the ball and ties it up. What is the call?

a. Violation when the ball crossed the line, B’s ball
b. Technical foul on B1
c. Warning on B1, if it happens again it is a technical
d. Held ball, B gets possession
e. Held ball, A keeps possession

2. End of game situation: Team A leads by 2. Players A1 dribbles at midcourt, and with 1 second left throws the ball high in the air, thinking his team has won. Buzzer sounds while the ball is in the air, but, incredibly, the ball goes through Team B’s basket. What is the call?

a. No points. Ball entered basket after the buzzer. A wins by 2.
b. 3 points for team B. B wins by 1.
c. 2 points for team B. Overtime.

3. Traveling involves the limit on movement of the pivot foot. A player gains possession of the ball and has not yet used his dribble, therefore he may start a dribble, shoot, or pass. The limits on movement of the pivot foot are:

a. The same on all three options.
b. Different on all three options.
c. The same on a shot and a pass. .
d. The same on a shot and a dribble.
e. The same on a pass and a dribble.

4. Official calls a foul near the baseline and you do not see the signal. You are told the call was either an intentional foul or a technical foul. There are 2 differences in the penalty for these 2 infractions. What are they?

5. Team A leads by 1 as time expires to end the 4th quarter. Immediately after the buzzer, team A’s coach steps out and uses profanity as he gives his opinion to the officials of how the game was called. Ruling: Technical foul on Coach A. Two free throws will be shot to determine which team wins or if overtime is necessary. True or false?

E. Arrow never changed.

2. End of game situation: Team A leads by 2. Players A1 dribbles at midcourt, and with 1 second left throws the ball high in the air, thinking his team has won. Buzzer sounds while the ball is in the air, but, incredibly, the ball goes through Team B’s basket. What is the call?

a. No points. Ball entered basket after the buzzer. A wins by 2.
b. 3 points for team B. B wins by 1.
c. 2 points for team B. Overtime.

A. Ball is dead at the buzzer since it wasn't a try for goal.

3. Traveling involves the limit on movement of the pivot foot. A player gains possession of the ball and has not yet used his dribble, therefore he may start a dribble, shoot, or pass. The limits on movement of the pivot foot are:

d. The same on a shot and a dribble.
e. The same on a pass and a dribble.

E? not so sure about this one.

4. Official calls a foul near the baseline and you do not see the signal. You are told the call was either an intentional foul or a technical foul. There are 2 differences in the penalty for these 2 infractions. What are they?

Crap. Um...intentional foul is two shots then POI, technical two shots plus the ball at midcourt?

High School
Intentional Personal Foul is 2 shots by the player fouled and then the ball is awarded to the same team at the spot of the foul.

Intentional Technical Foul is 2 shots by any player or eligible sub on the offended team and then the ball is awarded to the same team at the division line opposite table.

College
Same as high school

You're getting there, but the part in red is not correct. How is the part in green different from an intentional personal foul?
