Times
Answered
264 a. A1 ends her dribble and jumps to shoot. While in the air, she realizes that her shot will get blocked so she voluntarily throws the ball to the playing court and is the first to touch it.
0 b. A1 attempts to catch the ball while running. A1 does not control the ball but tips it in the air while taking 3 steps; she then secures the ball and begins a dribble.
2 c. A1 attempts a try at Team A’s basket after her dribble has ended. The try does not touch the backboard, the ring or flange or any other player. A1 runs and catches the ball before it strikes the playing court.
1 d. A1, while airborne, catches the ball to prevent it from going out of bounds. She throws the ball onto the court as her momentum takes her out of bounds. She then returns inbounds and is the first to touch the ball.
74 e. A1 rebounds the ball and falls to the floor without ever establishing a pivot foot.
Correct Answer: A Reference: 9-6; A.R.'s 100; 103; 181; 182

• COMMENTARY: Answer A is actually a double-dribble violation and not a travel since her dribble ended and she started another dribble when she voluntarily threw the ball to the floor. Although answer A is not a travel, it is the only violation in the list of options. This play was taken from A.R. 182 which is erroneously located under traveling. These two facts may be why 77% of test takers answered it correctly. Option E is not a travel since a pivot foot had never been established.

Times

3 c. A1 attempts a throw-in pass to A2, who is in her front court near the division line. A1's pass is deflected by B1. A2 jumps from her front court and while airborne, controls the ball, and then lands in her back court.
5 d. A and C
208 e. B and C
Correct Answer: E Reference: 4-3.7; 7-6.2; 9-12.1; A.R. 193; 12/19 Interp
Total responses: 326 % Correct: 64

• COMMENTARY: In answers B and C, when a player is in the air from a leap, the player’s status shall be where she was last in contact with the floor, which in the cases above, are in her front court. Answer C is a back-court violation because the exception on a throw-in is no longer in effect after B1 deflects the ball; the throw-in has ended. A2 gains player and team control in her front court and lands in her back court. See 12/19 and 2/11 Interps.

I disagree. It's a travel because the player jumped and then began a dribble. This is one of those cases where it really doesn't matter which you call; just call it something.

Chicken or the egg?

Good point. Sorta like a player jumping to pass, not releasing it, then landing OOB with the ball in hand.

This is the one coaches and fans scream about.

Okay, I forgot to add I disagree with this as well.

A pivot foot is not required for a travel.

1. A1 catches a pass at midcourt and proceeds to fall on his tail-end. This is a travel.

2. A1 catches the ball in the paint with both feet planted. He then jumps to shoot only to find B1 towering over him ready to block the shot. A1 returns to the floor with the ball. Travel.

Neither situation above has a pivot foot established. Who printed these answers?

Don't know about NCAA but under NFHS, that's traveling.

It's from the latest NCAA-W quiz....got it off EOfficials.
